Access to /dev/stic0 is not allowed when securelevel is greater than 0. The default kernel will be running with securelevel at 1, and XdecNetBSD won't be able to access /dev/stic0. The option INSECURE in the WSCONS config file needs to be uncommented and the kernel rebuilt to allow access to the PX series of graphics cards. I think you may also be able to patch the secureity level to be -1, but I haven't tried that. -- Michael L.
