For those of us who don't understand the inner workings of X...
What is in those 'pre-built binaries', and where do the files have to go?

I've an i7 I've just installed NetBSD 'current' onto.
I've got it to boot - but still need to fix grub (too complex),
and haven't configured anything yet.

Attempts to run xinit fail (should I expect it to just work?)
Are your changes likely to help?
It is a long time since I've setup X, and I can't remember how
I'm supposed to do it:-)
