>Description:
Pursuant to recent msgs in netbsd-help (`kernel config for X')
we appear to agree there's inadequate mention in the kernel
config files proper.
Please change the
options INSECURE
line in usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC etc to say something like
options INSECURE # disable kernel security levels - X needs this
>How-To-Repeat:
Forget everything you know about kernel configuring and try to make
a config for an X terminal :)
>Fix:
as above
