Hello, I am trying to run the X server on a DECstation 5000/200 (3MAX) with a PMAG-D framebuffer under NetBSD/pmax 2.0. xdm don't start. From the various discussions about the X server under 2.0 in the pmax mailing list, I am understanding that : - the netbsd-WSCONS kernel must be used, not the GENERIC kernel, - only securelevel 0 is supported, - XdecNetBSD may be broken (?). What is the current state of XdecNetBSD with the various framebuffers that are said beeing supported in the documentation ? What is the best way to get a working X server on a DECstation : - build a custom WSCONS kernel and a new userland with the current sources ? - wait up to the next NetBSD release (will the XdecNetBSD problems be fixed in the next release or will it still be necessary to exchange the GENERIC for a WSCONS kernel and run securelevel 0 and perhaps some other changes) ? - or some other solution ? Thanks in advance for the help, Jean-Pierre HOFER
