Recently, I decided to dust off my SparcBook 3GS to put it to some use. 
Earlier, I had NetBSD 1.6 running on it. X worked great with that version. 
However, devices like audio were not supported. I was excited to learn that 
the current contains drivers for audio. So, I went ahead and installed 
latest NetBSD (3.0.1), and recompiled the current kernel (I used TADPOLE3GX 
as config file and I used CVS to download the latest sources). The machine 
boots great and the audio works fine. I was excited to see that PCMCIA also 
started to work. However, no matter what I did X would not work.

Finally, I decided to compile the whole X. I downloaded all the sources 
from:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/xsrc

24 hours later the compilation was successful, however X still would not 
work. I kep getting the following error:
-----------
$ startx
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "idefix:0" in "list" command
xauth: (stdin):1:  bad display name "idefix:0" in "add" command

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/idefix:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "idefix:0" in "remove" command
$
---------

I  did some research and found that if I were to link X to XFree things 
should work:

However, I do not seem have XFree in /usr/X11R6/bin.

Did I do anything wrong while compiling X? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
