Then I installed an older release of X11 that was posted on this list and it finally worked after overinstalling the releng files again. Maybe a font was missing or so. Anyway, X11 works now - when running on ttyE0 - except for the keyboard :( I read the conversations on the list about wrong raw keycodes (and so on if I remember right) and of a proposed fix. My keyboard does not work with the last releng build though, Then I installed NetBSD-2-0 on a K6-300, got the sources from CVS and(Continue reading)
