Novice X-windows question on i386 2.0.2

Tue Oct 2 08:34:21 AEST 1990

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the following problem ?

I have installed 386ix version 2.0.2 ( yes I know its not the latest, its 
what we have available ) on an i486 based PC. I have also installed the 
C-compiler and the X windows product on the system. I have built the Xvga 
server, and made a virtual terminal ( virtterm ) available for X.
When I try to start xinit it complains that it  can't open the X streams device.

Can you good people out there tell what kernel enviromnents that need to be set
up for X to be happy. The manual is not very detalied about this.

I need to now:

1. Which devices does X use ? their major numbers ?

2. Which drivers does the kernel need ?  apart from the kdmouse.

3. Since the usage of streams messages blocks i very low on this system,
   which streams device is X missing ( see above ), there is lots of free
   streams message blocks.

to give you somthing to dive into here's the /etc/conf/cf.d/mdevice file .
