It'll take a while, as I'm recovering from Covid and not well enough to move large stacks of DECstations and swap either CPU daughterboard or TC graphics. (NetBSD hasn't worked on r4k/r44k Decstations since about 1.4). > > Should one expect these Xserver/tc(4) changes to also work on TC Alpha? Yes... though it's possible they may have the same uxterm issues (and that would be very interesting to find out) - more in other thread. Alpha still builds against Xorg 1.10, I think specifically to allow the old tc drivers to work, but it includes xwsfb, so an Alpha kernel with the cfb and other changes in the xwsfb-xorg.diff should just be able to run a Xwsfb X server. I should probably open a second front in Eastasia and try to build a set of 1.20 Alpha binaries for people on port-alpha to test :-p David
