well, its installed, but if you have a Mach64 card, and want to use NetBSD-Athena
and X, you need to also do the following:
as root, edit /etc/rc.local, and add the following lines AT THE END!
KERNDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kernel
if [ -f ${KERNDIR}/ap.o ]; then
modload -o /var/run/XF86-kern-mod -e ap -p ${KERNDIR}/apinstall ${KERNDIR}/ap.o
fi
After adding those lines, you also need to do the following (again as root):
cd /dev
mknod xf86 c 29 0
and then, you need to reboot, and start playing with the config files just
like with all the other servers....

(who is reporting this here in case somebody goes through the discuss logs
to figure out why their Mach64 card isn't working with XFree)
