Its more like, for example, if i "make" aalib from pkgsrc, its installed 
to /usr/pkg/lib/ , while .configure of bb looks in /usr/lib and /usr/local .

Perhaps some tweak of the path variable fixes that - or i use pkgsrc wrong.

pkg_add doesn't find packages unless i modify the config to look for 
6.0_2013Q4 instead of 6.1 binary packages.

Maybe installing binary packages made for 6.0 is a very evil thing
for a 6.1 NetBSD, i don't know.

What is better in X11R7 compared to R6, when i can't use it the way
its described in the NetBSD docs?

Thanks, will read and try!

And maybe try something like "VGA Monitor"...

Its even clocked quite high: CPU clock 100MHz, and the TT RAM is SDRAM,
clocked at full CPU speed.
