I've just set up i386/1.5.2 on an old Pentium 100 box, using the XF86
4.1.0 binary package from the NetBSD website.  Everything starts fine, but
I notice two problems (1) the only window manager my xinitrc recognizes is
twm, the default (I've tried blackbox and tvtwm as alternatives) and, more
annoying, (2) when I exit I have a blank console screen, although it is
active, not locked (I can type on it -- 'startx', for example will bring
back X).

If I telnet in and run 'startx' the only unusual item in the startup seems
to be the warning at the very end '(WW) fcntl(6, F_SETOWN): Inappropriate
ioctl for device'.  Has anyone else seen this?  Is there a fix?

I'm running two newer boxes with the same 1.5.2/4.1.0 combo with no
problems -- pretty slick except for this.
