If I do 'pkgin search nouveau' with these repositories I come up with zilch: http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.1.2/All http://nycdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.1_2018Q4/All > Sometimes things work better with X11_TYPE=modular (vs native, > which is also modular, but older :-). Do I take it that I should place that statement in my /etc/mk.con? I already have quite a few X packages built and installed. Won't I be changing horses mid-stream, so to speak, by adding that X11_TYPE statement now? * * * Based on identifying the video on this box as nvidia, I'm thinking what I need is this: xf86-video-nouveau. My pkgsrc build (again, from 2018Q4) ran aground in its build of the prerequisite package modular-xorg-server. Here is my best effort at grabbing the screen output that emerged after typing 'make' in nouveau's pkgsrc directory: --snip-- ******* I fubared the screen grab! ******* oto >= 1.6.0 renderproto >= 0.11 xextproto >= 7.2.99.901 inputproto >= 2.3 kbpro to >= 1.0.3 fontsproto >= 2.1.3 pixman-1 >= 0.27.2 videoproto compositeproto >= 0.4 recordproto >= 1.13.99.1 scrnsaverproto >= 1.1 resourceproto >= 1.2.0 xinera maproto xkbfile pixman-1 >= 0.27.2 xfont2 >= 2.0.0 xau xdmcp) were not met: Package dependency requirement 'xproto >= 7.0.31' could not be satisfied.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XSERVERCFLAGS_CFLAGS and XSERVERCFLAGS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
