- Normally, X386 generates a stack trace dump when the kernel is not
- patched for X... I know that you stated that you have the patched kernel.
-
- Also, you are the first person reporting attempting to use X in a local
- bus and they may be a difference on a local bus implementation for the
- et4000.
-
- Could you send a stack trace dump?

- p.s. (I helped port X386 to 386bsd)
