I have the following new entries in my custom kernel configuration
to support wscons with X:
# wscons options
#options WSEMUL_SUN
options WSEMUL_VT100
options WS_KERNEL_FG=WSCOL_GREEN
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_PCVT #emulate some ioctls
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_SYSCONS #emulate some ioctls
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL # VT handling
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD # can get raw scancodes
#options PCKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DK | KB_NODEAD)"
options PCKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DK)"
Furthermore I have the wscons related device entries, mostly taken
from the distributed NWSCONS kernel configuration file.
You also need to add some ttyEx, etc. entries to /dev it looks like
"sh MAKEDEV wscons" is the way to go.
With this setup, I'm currently running X with my NetBSD/i386-current
machine. I've done this with the XF86_SVGA, and recently with the
XF86_Mach68 servers.
I hope that this helps a little...
