The aperture driver for X11R6 apparently needed to be rebuilt against
the -current sources.
I have rebuilt it (sources in /mit/netbsd/dev/XFree863.1.1/ap) and
reorganized /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kernel:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 69158 wheel 7 Jul 5 23:33 ap.o -> ap1_0.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 69158 wheel 1529 Jan 29 09:17 ap1_0.o
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ghudson wheel 1487 Jul 5 23:32 ap1_0A.o
-rwxr-xr-x 1 69158 wheel 290 Jan 29 09:17 apinstall
efoo: Modify your rc.local and replace "ap.o" with "ap1_0A.o", and
things should work.
Anyway, there are several problems with X configuration due to the way
we have things set up:
* xf86conf and the documentation want you to make a link in
/usr/X11R6/bin, but of course we have the symlink to /etc/X.
* The aperture driver documentation suggests that you add a
command in /etc/rc.local which tries to create a linker
output file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/kernel. I told efoo to
have it create the file in /var/tmp/ap_module instead.
* The aperture driver documentation doesn't mention the kernel
version stuff.
I don't know how much we want to get into modifying X11R6
documentation to fit out environment. Thoughts are appreciated.
