Well after a few days off, I decided to start from scratch, install NetBSD
1.6.2  rather then 2.0.2 and try my luck with the X Color Server at
ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/contrib/Xmac68kcolor.

After linking to the downloaded Color X, I am getting the following error
when I try to start X

X: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
giving up.

xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X server

xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

Any thoughts? Have I missed something?

Thanks
Justin
