That's completely correct for 1.2G, and will work with 1.3_ALPHA and
1.3.  My advice had as illy transposition, tho' I think the earlier
description in the archiges is correct.

But Gregory's example has two steps that shouldn't be necessary:

	># ln -s /dev/fb0 /dev/mouse

The 1.3_ALPHA MAKEDEV now creates this symlink automatically.
It can't hurt.

	 ># ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib /store

This isn't necessary anymore either. It was needed for the X11R5
servers compled by Arne Juul.  The 1.3 pmax release has servers
recompiled by Michael Hitch (huge thanks to Michael) which are include
a single server for 3100 cfb, TC sfb, TC sfb, and TC mfb; and a server
for the 3100 mono framebuffer.  (I think I have the mono buffers the
right way around.)

If someone wanted to write a README file to go into the
Xservers.tar.gz tarset, that would be really neat.
