OK, I tried the 940319 kernel, and it actually boots. However, mfs doesn't
like my swap space: it complains that it can't read the disklabel. Up to now,
I've been able to use mfs no problem.
xbsdcc4 gives a 4-color display; xbsdcc2 gives a 16-color display. This just
confirms what other users have reported. I also get the trashing on the 16-
color display.
How much memory does a color X server use? I have 8M of core, and 16 colors
crawls. Literally: the borders of fvwm redraw at about 1 cm/sec. In
contrast, character display in an xterm under Xbsd is faster than the ITE
console.
Any chance of the servers using less core?
