Has anyone tested these changes on a mono slab/cube whatever? I'd like
to get these changes into 1.5, if at all possible. (Ya, I know it's getting
late, but without it my Color Slab isn't useful as a NetBSD box.......)
I can provide a 1.5_ALPHA2 GENERIC Kernel to anyone interested in testing.
Thanks.
Later...
