Thats definately something that should be included in one of the X386 internal
readme files. At least I couldn't see it around all of the stuff about setting
video clock rates... Among other things
* symlink /usr/X386/lib/X11 to /usr/lib/X11
* remove the console device (/dev/console) and link it to /dev/tty0 (
even though they seemingly have the same node numbers)
* yes, the fonts are supposed to remain in compressed form for X386 to operate
correctly.
The first one is pretty obvious, but I had to go digging in the FAQ's to find
the other two. It may be helpful to have a documentation file in /usr/X386
that mentions some of these things that were non-obvious (at least to me)
