	Now that NetBSD seems to be working with my 3/50, I would like
to get X to work with it.  I've download the x11r6 binaries from
ftp.netbsd.org but am having problems getting it to work.  First of all,
I always thought to start X I would have something like

:0 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession -e" none
on secure window="/usr/bin/Xtx bc"

in my /etc/ttys file (ok, the paths are not the same as for netbsd, but
you get the idea).  It so happens I can't find Xprompter or xsession in
/usr/X11R6.  Could anyone give me any hint?
