>Description:
I've upgraded my Shark to NetBSD 3.0 and realized there's no
X server in 3.0/shark. "WTF?!"
The "xserver.tgz" in 3.0/shark is actually a link to
../../../shared/arm/xserver.tgz, but as previous NetBSD releases
included a working X server, that's not an excuse.
>How-To-Repeat:
babylon5% tar plzvtf xserver.tgz | grep bin/X
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3488006 Dec 18 21:24 ./usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1815614 Dec 18 21:24 ./usr/X11R6/bin/Xprt
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1577972 Dec 18 21:24 ./usr/X11R6/bin/Xdmx
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3830334 Dec 18 21:24 ./usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb
^- note missing X and XF86_SVGA
Look further and find that other releases are broken in a similar
way:

given that NetBSD 1.x/shark was a.out (not ELF), that comes with
its own set of problems (need to populate /emul/aout), but at least
that X sserver works.
>Fix:
Quick: grab NetBSD 1.6.2/shark XF86_SVGA (and stuff for /emul/aout)
Better: Fix xsrc (no idea how)
