xsrc/39957: native xorg requires COMPAT_BSDPTY



>Number:         39957
>Category:       xsrc
>Synopsis:       native xorg requires COMPAT_BSDPTY
>Confidential:   no
>Severity:       non-critical
>Priority:       low
>Responsible:    xsrc-manager
>State:          open
>Class:          sw-bug

>Originator:     Patrick Welche
>Release:        NetBSD 5.99.02
>Organization:
>Environment:
NetBSD-5.99.02/i386 of 18 Nov 2008
>Description:
Install and start native xorg, with a kernel compiled without
COMPAT_BSDPTY. .xsession-errors will show

xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys

This wasn't the case with native xfree86.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
The work around is trivial, just add COMPAT_BSDPTY (which is in GENERIC
anyway). I don't know what the real fix is, and am just noting the
change in behaviour.
