Hi,
Thanks for these nice instructions. I have succeeded
by using them (I have had to add the package "libxslt" to install
the required program "xsltproc").
Now the mouse is integrated, I have no error but
the display is not dynamically resized.
NetBSD 9.0 was used to do the compilation.
In attachment to this mail, you will find the file
~/.xinitrc I have used to start X with the command
"startx".
Do you have an idea for the reason why the resizing is
not done? Do I have missed something?
Thanks for your help,
Best regards
