Subject: Experiences with Linux/FreeBSD X servers?

Is is possible to run a Linux or FreeBSD X server on NetBSD/i386?  I'm
running -current with wscons, and I downloaded the demo of XiG's
accelerated X server for Linux.  The installation was simple with some
minor script modifications, and the server appears to start, but it
stops because it can't find a free vt device.  Does anyone know how
Linux X servers expect the virtual terminal devices to be named?  I'm
hoping that linking ttyE? to whatever it expects will be good enough.

Can anyone else share the experiences running a commercial X server?

	Thanks,
