  [ This was originally posted to netbsd-help.  I don't think it
    garnered any replies, although if you emailed me and I missed
    it I apologize -- I've been having some mail issues with
    AT&T, nee MediaOne.  Hopefully resolved. ]

I just built a kernel with INSECURE *off*, and obviously this prevents
XFree86 from working.  I found some messages recommending the
"aperture" LKM as a solution, and there is indeed a
pkgsrc/sysutils/aperture directory, but it doesn't build -- the
archive doesn't appear to exist on the server.

The build is looking for:

  .../pub/NetBSD/packages/distfiles/aperture-2.0/apNetBSD.shar

But there is no "aperture-2.0" directory on the server.

I was able to find a binary package for this module, which appears to
be working, but I'm curious what's become of the source.

Thanks,

-- Lars
