Updates gxemul booting news: - NetBSD-10.1_STABLE-pmax.iso from releng.netbsd.org boots just fine, similar to the 9.4 release, so whatever issue affected the netbsd-10.1 release should already be fixed for netbsd-10.2 Based on that I've built (and test booted in gxemul :) a NetBSD-10 distribution with iso including macallan's patch and uploaded to https://sync.absd.org/pmax/ - so you should be able to grab the iso or just a kernel as required for testingThis one boots and gets to sysinst, now trying an install. More shortly.It doesn't look like the X sets are on that iso, am I missing something? (or did you? ;))Oh for the love of.... Apologies - I'm poking at this while recovering from some more than usually unpleasant "seasonal" malady. I've just rebuilt the 10 iso and sets to include x11 (ahem). iso already uploaded, sets should be uploaded shortly
Ok, this is much better. It boots and installs (I'm using the 10.1 image) and the framebuffer doesn't go mad when the X server starts up. It basically works.
But there is a strange offset to the video. I've attached two pics which show what I mean. See where my pointer has grabbed the window title bar in the second picture; I've actually grabbed the window and am dragging it, so that's where the X server thinks the window is. But the actual displayed objects are shifted to the left.
I'm going to leave this install on there; I should be able to copy in new X servers as needed for further testing, if you want to try to chase this down. The machine is on the network etc so it's easy to get stuff in and out, I just have to be over at the museum to do it.
Thanks,
-Dave
