So use one or the other not both. If you apply patches 28-31 from either patchkit, don't apply the XFree86 kernel patches. In fact, the patch kit is easeier to use, so you might want to consider it first. Also, you *must* add `option XSERVER' to your kernel configuration file when you rebuild the kernel. `option UCONSOLE' is required as well with XFree86's kernel patches and patchkit 0.1 but is not needed with version 0.2 of the patchkit. I was wrong here. UCONSOLE is needed independent of the patchkit. So README.386BSD should read: Also, you *must* add `option XSERVER,UCONSOLE' to your kernel configuration file when you rebuild the kernel. Thanks to David Dawes and Nate for pointing this out! Rich
