Hi Robert,

after NetBSD 3.0/shark doesn't come with an X server, I have followed your 
advice to see if the 3.0/cats server works: I doesn't.

Both "xf86cfg" and "X -configure" can't open /dev/pci0 (which I don't have 
in MAKEDEV and /dev), and they can't load a "fbdevhw" module, whatever 
that is, see output below.

Do you have any other ideas to get working X back for 4.0/shark?

Thanks!


  - Hubert
