/dev/io after kernel recompiling on a 5.3 stable

[Petre Bandac]

after I recompiled the kernel, xorg doesn't start, stating something
about cannot finding /dev/io

booting with kernel.old (GENERIC) works fine

what option I forgot in KERNCONF ?

thanks,

petre

device io

It used to be included by default, but now you have to ask for it. You
may also want to add "device mem".

what about /proc ?

do I need it (if I use linux compatibility) ?

It depends. I have /proc mounted for truss, but I don't have linprocfs
mounted, and I haven't had any problems running linux apps.
