I tryed to install the pmax-X11 stuff and had to take some hurdles.
First I was not able to create /dev/pm0 because of a typo in MAKEDEV.
I send a pr on this now. Then I tryed to `startx` with following this README,
but I got:

couldn't open pm
Fatal server error:
no screens found

So I ktraced Xmfbpmax and got:

[...]
   520 Xmfbpmax CALL  open(0x4c5e58,0x6,0)
   520 Xmfbpmax NAMI  "/dev/mouse"
   520 Xmfbpmax RET   open -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
   520 Xmfbpmax CALL  write(0x2,0x7ffff2b8,0x12)
   520 Xmfbpmax GIO   fd 2 wrote 18 bytes
       "couldn't open pm 
       "
   520 Xmfbpmax RET   write 18/0x12
   520 Xmfbpmax CALL  write(0x2,0x7ffff2e0,0x15)
   520 Xmfbpmax GIO   fd 2 wrote 21 bytes
       "
        Fatal server error:
       "
   520 Xmfbpmax RET   write 21/0x15
   520 Xmfbpmax CALL  write(0x2,0x7ffff2e0,0x10)
   520 Xmfbpmax GIO   fd 2 wrote 16 bytes
       "no screens found"
   520 Xmfbpmax RET   write 16/0x10
   520 Xmfbpmax CALL  write(0x2,0x7ffff2e0,0x1)
   520 Xmfbpmax GIO   fd 2 wrote 1 bytes
       "
       "
   520 Xmfbpmax RET   write 1
   520 Xmfbpmax CALL  exit(0x1)


So how should /dev/mouse look like? I did not find it in /etc/MAKEDEV.
/dev/pm0 looks like
crw-------  1 root  wheel    8,   0 Nov 12 16:41 /dev/pm0
at my DS3100.

Thanx for any help in advance!
