	No server was running.  I even tried putting it in a .xserverrc and 
running startx.  Still no go.  The processes that are running look 
identical to the ones that run with another Xserver.  In Slackware, I 
was using the kernel frame buffer.  Could that have made the difference 
and is there a NetBSD equivalent?
