Hi,
I am answering my own question on changing from the DEC distributed
version of X10r4 to X11. Here's the trick for going to X11 from X10.
You must:
1) edit /etc/ttys and comment out the ttyv0 x10 initialization lines. This
is obvious, I know.
2) Build a new kernel, with the lines "options xos" and "pseudodevice xos"
removed from the kernel configuration file. This is the key. Note that I
used the new sg.o that I FTPed from expo.
3) Reboot from this kernel. Note that the console is dead when the system
comes up, but X11 will run if started from another terminal. I believe by
adding a console line to /etc/ttys this slight complication can be fixed.
Hope this is help to someone,

Thanks for the advice. Can someone tell me where I can FTP X11 source and fixes?
