Can I obtain appropriate X server binary, on my old version of NetBSD, Thanks!

[<phony%oasis.ocn.ne.jp@localhost>]

To all of experts.

Today, I tried to UPGRADE my old NetBSD 6.0.1 to 7.0.1. And succeeded it.
The XServer for my laptop's graphics controller, which is CF-R9 manufactured 
by Matsushita Elec, is also installed smoothly,
and runs with Intel HD's hardwere accerelation appropriately.

Thank you for all experts, It was very easy to upgrade nowadays NetBSD 
operating system.
I'll continue to use NetBSD for my work & developping.

Thank you sincerely.

Hi,

if I understand correctly, you're looking for the 6.0.1 X11 sets for netbsd. 
The best way to go about this would be to move away from 6.0.1 as it's no 
longer supported. But, since you state that is not an option since this is 
your dev environment, there is another way.

You should be able to download the version you want from the NetBSD 
archives: 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-archive/NetBSD-6.0.1/<your_arch>/binary/sets/

Quick caveat: If I understand correctly, the CF-R6 uses an Intel GMA 950 
chipset. The `igmafb` driver for this chipset isn't available for 6.0.1, but 
(others please chime in here) I believe that you can get at least useable 
X11 working with generic drivers.

Hope this helps,

Hi, all of NetBSD experts. I’m a japanese NetBSD user.

Now, I’m finding the way to install Xserver binary, on my NetBSD based 
laptop PC as CF-R6 manufactured by Matsushita elec.
My NetBSD version is ,a bit old, 6.0.1.
I tried to copy the xorg and drivers binaries from the last 6.1.5 version 
NetBSD’s installation binaries as xset.tgz.
But this version of xsets.tgz seems to unsupport my laptop’s graphic 
controller, which is Intel HD graphics.

Then, I also tried to copy them from the newest version of NetBSD, which is 
7.0.1, xbase.tgz.
And failed to invoke xorg, due to problems related to the shared object of 
libpthread.

The last trial I think is updating my ports database and installing with 
ports.
But my ports is also so old, and I want to manage to avoid upgrading my 
current NetBSD version,
which is now the main depeloping environment of my working.

Do I have no way to install appropriate Xserver binary, which support my 
laptop’s graphics controller Intel HD graphics,
on my NetBSD 6.0.1. based workstation without upgrading or re-installing 
current version of NetBSD.
