Cool.  Sounds good so far.

That makes sense.  You've already got an X server running, and two
wouldn't know how to share events from adb, nor would adb know how
to split events between the two.  You don't need two servers, anyway.

Try 'xterm -display dave:0.1' for a display on the machine named 'dave',
display 0, screen 1.  '-display :0.1' should also work and may be faster
than dave:0.1 since :0.1 gives the server/Xlib more freedom in choosing
how to talk to each other.  May not matter under NetBSD, though.  ;-)
