Starting X on NetBSD 9.0
I like the new NetBSD 9.0. It works great at the command line level, and
this is where I am writing this email using alpine. But I have yet to get
the X server to work. I've been trying to use the twm window manager
which I installed with pkgsrc, and have made multiple attempts at creating
an .xinitrc file that works. So I could use some help.
The odd thing to me is that when I type startx, it seems to try to open
xorg. I get appropiate color fuzz on the screen, and a display with three
faint and barely readable error messages, and oddest of all, there is a
partial copy of my MSI bios splash screen right in the mddle of the page,
and then it hangs and freezes up. I have to shutdown with the power button
as the ctl/F* does not switch consoles. Anyway, I would appreciate any
suggestions.
