Subject: Getting XiG Accelerated X 6.0 to run on NetBSD 1.5.1

I'm trying to get an AccelX server running on an i386/1.5.1 box.

AccelX 6.0 for FreeBSD is ELF, which I gather we don't emulate.

The linux binary seems to execute just fine with the suse bits
installed from pkgsrc, but it's having trouble opening whatever
device it needs to talk to the video card; I tried ktrace -d to
see what files the server was trying to open, but it doesn't
seem to want to tell me anything (beyond opening /emul/linux/
lib/ld-linux.so.2, anyway).

I'm using wscons. Anybody know what symlinks I should install
under /emul/linux/dev to make this work?

I've tried the set recommended in compat_linux(8), but they don't
seem to do the right thing (Xaccel still complains "couldn't
open VT: no such file or directory").
