The first problem sounds like you have not recompiled the NetBSD/i386 kernel
with pcvt enabled, the second one sounds like you have not compiled the latest
-current sources. What you're getting there is probably 'Bad system call'
(i.e. a SIGSYS), meaning you don't have some of the newer Linux system calls
that were added lately. I'll have a look at abuse for X today, though I
never had any problems with any Linux X application myself..
