Hi,

using NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 and NetBSD 4.99.18 (and the same pkgsrc-CURRENT),
all went OK. Here's my notes:

The server package is modular-xorg-server-1.2.0nb1.
I also compiled "wpi/mesa-dri" on NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 and it went OK (running
a i810). I didn't test server 1.3 from wip (yet).

You may grab my binaries from http://www.tumfatig.net/packw/ if you want
to give a quick try on your hardware. 4.0_BETA2 has only -i810- driver
available and 4.99.18 has only -nv- driver (because those are the hardware
I have on the machine I compiled the packages ;)

The mk.conf is here http://www.tumfatig.net/pack/mk.conf

Regards,
   Jo
