this is XFree86 version 3.3.1 compiled for OpenBSD on the pmax the following x servers are part of this distribution: * Xcfbpmax - supports the cfb and sfb framebuffers on OpenBSD/pmax (this is an X11R5pl26 server because there are currently no newer servers running on OpenBSD/pmax available) * Xmfbpmax - supports the mfb framebuffer on OpenBSD/pmax (this is also an X11R5pl26 server - see above) there is one tar.gz file which contains all the files of the XFree86 distribution plus the pmax X11R5 xservers: X11R6.tar.gz to install them simple get root and change to the /usr directory su - cd /usr then unpack it using tar xvpzf some_path/X11R6.tar.gz * add /usr/X11R6/lib to the directories searched by ldconfig and rerun ldconfig echo /usr/X11R6/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig * create a symbolic link from the x server you plan to use to X in the /usr/X11R6/bin directory: - if you have a pmax with an cfb framebuffer cd /usr/X11R6/bin ln -sf Xcfbpmax X (OpenBSD/pmax) - if you have a pmax with an mfb framebuffer cd /usr/X11R6/bin ln -sf Xmfbpmax X (OpenBSD/pmax) * on the pmax you have to create a symlink from the framebuffer device (usually the first - thus fb0) to mouse in the /dev directory: cd /dev ln -sf fb0 mouse * if you plan to start xdm from the rc.local file remember to disable the getty on the console port XFree86 version 3.3.1 in this distribution was built by per fogelstrom (pefo@OpenBSD.org) and the pmax X11R5pl26 x servers were built by thomas graichen (graichen@OpenBSD.org) ... please contact them if you have any mips specific problems running x (per for OpenBSD/arc and OpenBSD/wgrisc and thomas for OpenBSD/pmax)
