Right, and tv@netbsd.org would have worked too.

I had forgotten that I rewrote the note, and I'll make this clearer.  BUT:

: Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/rgb'

If someone can send me the files

/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/rgb.dir
/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/rgb.pag

from the old X distribution, I will fix the xarm33 set.  (It seems that 
the xarm33 server uses old-ndbm even though NetBSD's libc emulates ndbm 
via Berkeley DB.)  Also,

: failed to set default font path '/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/'
: Fatal server error:
: could not open default font 'fixed'

I'll rebuild the X sets with .Z-compressed fonts such that any arm32 X
servers can use them.  (This will be Yet Another xsrc-Deviating Hack, but it
will work.)

: Now /usr/X11R6.3/lib/X11/rgb does not exist 

It's actually rgb.{dir.pag} in the case of the arm33 server and rgb.db in
the case of XF86.  I'll fix the sets, once someone sends me the .dir and
.pag files, to have all three files.
