Hi again, all.

It seems that #including "ioconf.h" in grf.c was the only thing needed to
successfully build the 1.3B kernel. Everything seems to be running smoothly
so far.

I have a couple silly questions.

1) In /etc/myname I have "acheron.middleboro.ma.us", sans quotes. I noticed
in /etc/rc/conf that there are spots to include both a hostname and a domain
name. Would I be correct in assuming that I'd include nothing but "acheron"
as the hostname, and nothing but "middleboro.ma.us" as the domain name? I
don't have a sufficient clue, and I didn't see anything in the rc.conf man
page that would point in either direction. My sendmail and everything else
work well enough with my current setup, but I'd like to do things in the
canonical fashion.

2) Why is -current -currently at 1.3B, and not 1.3A? I remember something
from the netbsd-current list from Perry saying that he was going to explain
this, but evidently I missed the explanation. Just curious.

3) I'm finally running X on my SE/30. (I found an old 500-meg drive that
seems to work. It died after a while a year or so ago when I was running
it on my Mac, and I expect that it will die eventually in its current
situation, but until then, I have space for X... :) I noticed that there
seems to be a nice little screen blanker that kicks in after a while.
The settings don't seem to be in Xsetup_0... I'd like to change the amount
of idle time until sleep, but I can't find where to do it. Where is this
particular setting... set?

Thanks in advance for the information!
