Hello,

I saw you have a problem with deciphering the "fatal server error"
message.

I was also puzzled when I saw it for the first time. Then I realized
that's a symptom of the problem described here:

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html#x_needs_insecure_kernel

Briefly, you need the aperture driver. Install it as described in the
FAQ.

Also note that i haven't been able to compile it. If you has this
problem, the following two patches should fix it (apply in the module/
subdirectory):
