Does NetBSD 0.9 come with the X support or do you need patches or extra 
distributions or what? I've got Xfree86 (from the 386BSD archive on 
agate.berkeley.edu) and instaled it, but it won't run because I don't have a 
/dev/vga driver, which the XFree86 docs claim will be created when the binaries
are installed... Is there anything else I need to do (besides what's in the 
XFree86 docs) to make this thing run on NetBSD?

Thanks - James
