Stephen and Kunihiro,

I recently downloaded the madhatter#40 and got the exact same results....
"Can't run X with no screens" on my Quadra 610.  I then went back to
madhatter#37 and everything works great again.  I am using the 1.2.1
distribution of NetBSD.  The only thing I have problems with is 'ps' and
'w' to which I get a 'proc size mismatch'.  I do not remember if this
happened under the madhatter#40 kernel or not, but it hapens consistently
under #37.
