Yep.  The only reason G. Evans got as far as he did was because the
pccons driver ignored XSERVER until after 1.2.  So, he can either use
the appropriate GENERIC kernel from the 1.2 distribution, or he can
configure and build a custom kernel using the instructions in the
*BSD FAQ.  The latter is preferred.
