I did omit some crucial details in my directions for using Mel's 
patched XFree86 4.0.2 code 
(http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-alpha/2002/06/24/0000.html).  :(

viz.:

In the copy of the GENERIC kernel configuration file set the WS 
console and Workstation Console sections to:

# WS console uses SUN or VT100 terminal emulation
options         WSEMUL_VT100
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_PCVT
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_SYSCONS
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD

# Workstation Console attachments
pckbc0          at isa?
pms*            at      pckbc?
#wsdisplay*     at      cfb?
wsdisplay*      at      vga?
#wsdisplay*     at      sfb?
#wsdisplay*      at      tga?
wskbd*          at      pckbd? console ?
wsmouse*        at      pms?


The complete, modified set of instructions is appended to this email.

Remove or rename  /usr/X11R6  and  /etc/X11  if they exist.

# cd /tmp
# ftp http://www.caseydoodle.com/xsrc.tar.gz
# ls -l
total 108208
-rw-r-----  1 ray  wheel  110731943 Jun  6 15:27 xsrc.tar.gz
# md5 *z
MD5 (xsrc.tar.gz) = 5668a4a63d1db0c0c81fd1fe618833d0
# cd /usr
# pax -zrpe -f /tmp/xsrc.tar.gz
# cd xsrc/xfree/xc
# make clean
# make includes
# make
# make install

This will create /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11.  /usr/include/vm/vm.h is 
required for make to work; it's in NetBSD 1.5.2 but is apparently 
missing in versions later than 1.5V.

Make a copy of the GENERIC kernel configuration file, and modify the copy thus:

1) uncomment the second of these two lines:

# Disable kernel security.
#options         INSECURE

2) set the WS console and Workstation Console sections to:

# WS console uses SUN or VT100 terminal emulation
options         WSEMUL_VT100
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_PCVT
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_SYSCONS
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL
options         WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD

# Workstation Console attachments
pckbc0          at isa?
pms*            at      pckbc?
#wsdisplay*     at      cfb?
wsdisplay*      at      vga?
#wsdisplay*     at      sfb?
#wsdisplay*      at      tga?
wskbd*          at      pckbd? console ?
wsmouse*        at      pms?

3) add this line:

pseudo-device    wsmux 2

then build a new kernel from the new configuration file.


In /etc/rc.conf change NO to YES in this line:

wscons=NO               wscons_flags=""         # setup wscons from wscons.conf


In /etc/ttys replace the lines:

ttyE0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100 off secure
ttyE1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100 off secure

with these:

ttyE0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100 on secure
ttyE1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100 on secure
ttyE2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100 on secure
ttyE3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100 on secure


Create /etc/X11/XF86Config using xf86config or manually.  If using 
xf86config, change wsmouse to wsmouse0 in InputDevice section:

     Option "Protocol"    "wsmouse"
     Option "Device"      "/dev/wsmouse0"


To stop the console presenting just a black screen after exiting X, 
in /etc/X11/XF86Config change the

Option "AutoRepeat"

setting to

Option "AutoRepeat" "500 5"


When using the glint driver this line must be in the video card's 
Device section or the server will crash:

Options "ShadowFB"


Because of the new kernel configuration for the console you will not 
be able to login to the boot screen.  Instead type ctrl-alt-F2 to 
bring up a login prompt on one of the alternate consoles and use it.


If the installation was successful,

# X -scanpci

will return the PCI device locations, and xinit and startx will start 
an X session.
