    So we can close this pr?
 
    I don't think we will enable drm in netbsd-5 in the default configuratio=
 n.
 
 Hmm...  If you don't plan to enable drm, then there's still a problem.
 
 I just checked a current kernel with and without drm: it worked with,
 and froze without, just like in 5.1.  I checked both xsrc and pkgsrc.
 So it seems pretty clear that X is broken without drm.
 
    P.S. It is enough if you reply to gnats-bugs%NetBSD.org@localhost which 
then sends
    the mail out to netbsd-bugs%NetBSD.org@localhost after it is recorded in 
the gnats

 OK, sorry.  I usually just reply-all, to make sure everyone interested
 gets the message whether or not they are on netbsd-bugs or whatever is
 the relevant mailing list.  (I, for instance, am not on netbsd-bugs.)
