Hi all,
I have a problem here to get X working on my workstation. It is a
amd64 NetBSD 5.0.1 with installed xenkernel33 (from pkgsrc 2009Q3) and
dom0 kernel from ftp.netbsd.org.
With GENERIC kernel X is working fine ( I tried nvidia and radeon
cards; both PCIe). If I start with dom0- kernel the workstation is
booting and I have a console.
But "startx" don't work anymore... I get a blank screen and have to do
a hard reset...
Do somebody have solved that problem?
Greetings,

Hi,
I found a workaround for my problem... I have 8 GB of Ram installed but
I have to give xen-kernel only 4 GB (with more Ram X didn't start).
I added "mem=4G" to my /boot.cfg...
menu=Boot Xen with 1GB for dom0:load /netbsd-XEN3_DOM0
console=pc;multiboot /xenkernel mem=4G dom0_mem=1024M
Does somebody knows if there is a patch to be able to use the total
amount of ram?
Hum, I think there have been fixes for issues with X and the 4Gb
barrier. Could you try a recent 5.0_STABLE system ?
