On which architecture? I'm assuming you are using NetBSD-i386 because mostly i386 users forget about this. Add "options XSERVER,UCONSOLE" and if you are using X-Free86 <3.2 "options COMPAT_11" to your kernel configuration file. If you have a VGA board which requires direct memory access e.g. a Matrox Millenium you have either to add "options INSECURE" to use the "Aperture Driver" kernel module. > What packages do I need to install? The X-Free86 3.2 distribution for NetBSD. -- Matthias Scheler http://colwyn.owl.de/~tron/
