Depends! Often a problem remains unsolved/unanswered, just because noone
ever run into trouble like you described.

Depends! If it seem to be a NetBSD-specific problem (like: package from
pkgsrc doesn't run properly) - ask about packages on tech-pkg@. You
experience strange lock-ups or coredumps? Ask on port-i386@ or port-x11@, or
here.

You can find list descriptions at http://netbsd.org/MailingLists/

If the problem doesn't seem to be narrowed to NetBSD configurations (eg.
"how do I change the colour of my root window"), e-mail netbsd-help@ or any
X11-related list anywhere (or post Usenet News) - "upper" layers of X11
aren't really so different between Linux, BSD or .. Windows ;)

As many people are really subscribed to many NetBSD e-mail lists - if
someone doesn't reply you at once, it could mean 2 things: either the
problem is well-known and solution is available in the docs (NetBSD guide,
for example) - or noone had such trouble, noone has similar configuration to
test if you case occur on his/hers hardware...

Take care,
