actually, alpha in 7 defaults to XF86: .if \ ${MACHINE} == "acorn32" || \ ${MACHINE} == "alpha" || \ ${MACHINE} == "amiga" || \ ${MACHINE} == "mac68k" || \ ${MACHINE} == "pmax" || \ ${MACHINE} == "sun3" X11FLAVOUR?= XFree86 .else X11FLAVOUR?= Xorg .endifthough everything worked last i heard, except for Xalpha, which has the tc-framebuffers supported, but all the newer systems should work with xorg 1.10.Marco, are you able to build netbsd? building with X11FLAVOUR=Xorg should work. eg:% cd src % ./build.sh -V X11FLAVOUR=Xorg -O /var/obj/alpha -j4 -Uu -m alpha -x -X /usr/xsrc release
I installed NetBSD by creating a cdrom. It was a complete installation, so including X. But the version of X looks weird to me: the binary is "XdecNetBSD" instead of XFree86 or Xorg, it doesn't have a config file, and there doesn't seem to be graphics drivers installed at all.
Rebuilding NetBSD is something I would like to avoid because that would take a week or so. Would it be better to install X from pkgsrc? Although I can't find a metapackage there for either XFree or Xorg.
