Ok I've done this, but now here's the problem for some reason it isn't
saving the path of /usr/X11R6/bin.  I've tried several things to do this.
if I put in set path=($path /usr/X11R6/bin) it works find till I logout
then it won't work.  I've tried typing in export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
and it comes back with the error of "No underlying variables".  so to find
out if there needs to be any variables or options set I tried just typing
in export and the error message "command not found" comes up.  I've done
this from both just the user and from su.  Well X does come up great now
but it gets tedious to type in set path=($path /usr/X11R6/bin) everytime I
log out and log back in.

X is also having problems redrawing it seems like whenever I use a man in
one xterm window and then switch to another window the display gets all
messed up.

Oh also when I'm not working in X is there anyway of setting the background
to be black and foreground to be white?  If there is this would be much
easier on my eyes.  Doesn't seem to be as much of a problem in X with the
white background and black forground, probably the full screen thing that
causes it to be a problem.  Oh also when not in X whenever I view a man and
then hit <space> to go to the next page it comes up so the background just
surrounding the letters is black and the letters are white, anyway of
fixing this.  This happens regardless of weather I'm using color or not
before I boot unix.

Thanks,
Albert

>NetBSD/mac68k, X11R6, and Shared Libraries
>
>	In order to run the shared library version of X11R6, you need
>to tell ld.so (the dynamic loader) where the new shared libraries
>reside.  You have at least two options.  As root:
>
># ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib
>
>	You might as well add the above to /etc/rc.local while you're
>at it, so that the dynamic loader's cache will be updated at boot
>time.  If for some reason you don't want to do this, you can instead
>set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory.  You
>don't need to be root to do this:
>
>% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/lib
>
>	If you choose this solution, you might as well add the above to
>your .cshrc, or the appropriate variation to the initialization file
>for your shell of choice.
>
>	If ld.so complains about shared library version mismatches or
>undefined symbols, you need to get new shared libraries which are at
>least as recent as those the X11R6 distribution was compiled against.
>You can find newer libraries in a NetBSD/mac68k NetBSD-current base
>set.  Try one of the following:

>Tailoring your X session
>
>	You should creat ~/.xinitrc and edit it to suit your preference
>and needs.  .xinitrc file is a shell script which is executed when you
>start your X session by invoking "startx" or "xinit" command (startx is
>a slightly nicer front-end to more primitive xinit).  For example, you
>can have a .xinitrc file as follows:
>
>xterm -sb -geometry 80x24+0+26 -name 'my shell' &
>xclock -geometry 24x24+0+0 &
>xbiff -geometry 24x24+26+0 &
>twm
>
>Note that the last command `twm' is not followed by `&'.  Because .xinitrc
>is a shell script, commands followed by `&' execute asynchronously (i.e.
>xinit does not wait for the commands to exit), and when xinit finishes
>executing all the commands in your .xinitrc, it simply terminates the X
>session.  Thus, you should not append `&' to the last command (or your X
>session will terminate immediately after you start it), and you can choose
>a program you want your X session to terminate when exits.  In the above
>example, your X session will terminate when you choose "Exit" item from
>twm menu (it pops up when you hold down the left mouse button in the root
>window, or the "desktop" following Macintosh terminology).

>Re-Enabling the Up/Down Arrow Keys

>	You'll probably find that the up/down arrow keys no longer work
>under X11R6.  Try creating a .xmodmaprc file with the following
>contents:
>
>! .xmodmaprc  OTH 4/19/95
>! Fix the Macintosh "Up" and "Down" keys.
