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,
                                          Rob.
