AlphaServer 1200

[Darren Goossens <darren.goossens%gmail.com@localhost>]

Apologies if this is the wrong place to put this posting. If so, just
ignore it. I'm someone who used to use Alpha hardware and wants to
keep it going, but I'm not a developer or anything.

I'm installing NetBSD 8 on my AlphaServer. 1200 Just thought I'd
provide some feedback.

I installed from the iso. It all worked fine. I got a bootable system
first time. The first time I installed, I installed the X sets too,
and tha did not work, neither with an S3Trio nor a Matrox card.  I'm
not going to talk about that here, yet.

I tried installing all sets except X, then tried to use pkgsrc to
install modular-xorg.

It worked for a while, but ... please find at the end of this posting
the error stream from the make.

In short, bsd_pci.c includes ../../../../hw/xfree86/common/compiler.h
which has some undeclared stuff in it of the form CARD8.

Does the compiler.h need to include another header to define these
things? I've grepped around, but I'm out of my depth, I'm afraid.

Apologies if I am posting to the wrong list.
