You will need to reuild several things - assuming you have only 1.3.2 stuff
other than the kernel, you will need to do at least:
o install all the -current includes
o rebuild and install libc
o rebuild and install libkvm
o rebuild and install ps

Let me guess - you have an sfb [PMAGB-BA] graphics adapter and it's jumpered
with an alternate clock to give a 1024x8?? display? If so, you need
to get the pmax/dev/bt459.c that should have become available today [Friday]
on the SUP server or ftp server. The cursor positioning needs different
offsets for the alternate resolution mode of the PMAGB-BA.
[If you aren't using a PMAGB-BA in the lower resolution, then I'm not sure
what the problem would be.]
