Since cvsup'ing from 4.1 to 4.1.1 (rebuilt world & kernel), I've been
getting these:
xl1: transmission error: 90
xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes
xl1: transmission error: 90
xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 180 bytes
Is this anything I need to be worried about and/or can correct?
The rest is all whining about XFree86 on this machine:

Observations: there is no VGA16 server (upon which XF86Setup depends)
for XFree86. I've looked at several of the US FTP sites and of those
I've found, all are 45byte files - apparently empty.
If the mouse is defined and enabled in /etc/rc.conf ('psm0' as
sysinstall can do for you). xf86config (XFree86 3.3.6) trips over a
"busy" mouse, and exits back to the command line.
Not all Logitech PS/2-type mice (mouses?) are equal. Although the
system saw a 2-button mouse (P/N: 95426-0000) , XFree86 didn't.
Switching to a Logitech 3-button mouse (MouseMan P/N: 811158-00)
solved that mouse problem.
I changed su's shell to tcsh [chsh -s /usr/local/bin/tcsh] which
successfully changed the shell however, upon USER exiting X-windows on
the console, su generates this
Warning: no access to tty (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
Thus no job control in this shell.
su is allowed but it appears to revert to the default shell. (I really
like tabbed filename completion.)
Finally, has anyone gotten Netscape for Tru64 to browse properly? I
got it installed and it launches but complains that it "cannot find"
urls by domain name. It displays my local webserver by IP number
(192.168.10.1). The same domains it can't find I can ping without any
problem so I'm almost confident that the nameserver entry in
resolv.conf is good.
Thanks,
