x.org/pkgsrc on ThinkPad X20

[Jeff Blank]

I'm having problems getting the X server from pkgsrc/x11/xorg-server
working on my ThinkPad X20.  After building and installing the server,
client, font, and library packages, I tested the server by just typing
'X' at a shell prompt (as root).  I had my working /etc/X11/xorg.conf
from my ports/dfports xorg installation still in place and a symbolic
link of /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/pkg/xorg.  The server started but displayed
nothing, no screen full of alternating black/white pixels, no mouse
pointer, nothing.  (More complex methods of starting the server, such
as xdm, yielded the same results.)  I ran xorgconfig to get a new
xorg.conf, entering the same information as I did under ports, same
results.

My ThinkPad X20 has an ATI Rage Mobility with 4MB of VRAM, and the LCD
is capable of 1024x768.  There are a lot of messages in
/var/log/Xorg.0.log about "panel dimensions exceeded" and such.  I had
this same problem last time I tried to use pkgsrc for X (either an
earlier -PREVIEW or else 1.2.x-RELEASE) and gave up in favour of
ports.

I obtained pkgsrc via anoncvs from anoncvs.us.netbsd.org yesterday,
and I applied Joerg's pkgsrc.diff before bootstrapping or building
anything.  X.org packages built:

xorg-clients-6.8.2
xorg-dirs-1.1nb1
xorg-fonts100dpi-6.8.2
xorg-fonts75dpi-6.8.2
xorg-fontsEncodings-6.8.2
xorg-fontsMisc-6.8.2
xorg-fontsTruetype-6.8.2
xorg-fontsType1-6.8.2
xorg-imake-6.8.2nb2
xorg-libs-6.8.2nb1
xorg-server-6.8.2nb2

My /var/log/Xorg.log.0 and /etc/X11/xorg.conf are posted at
http://web.mr-happy.com/~jfb/df/ for anyone who would like to look
them over.  I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can
offer.

thanks,
Jeff
