I'm in NetBSD-current (7.99.1) amd64 as I read and type this, know what you
mean about the mess of X.
Either X doesn't start at all, or the mouse doesn't work; in this case the
mouse doesn't work but I use xkbset which provides a surrogate mouse.
Is there something I could try, on NetBSD-current, either on amd64 or i386?
I have plenty of space on a 3 TB hard drive with GPT, would use another
partition rather than mess the current installation, need to so rebuild NetBSD
anyway.
Graphic applications that expect to run under X would have to be modified to
run under a different GUI, but that should not be impossible considering that
many such graphic applications have been ported to MS-Windows and Mac OS X.
