Unfortunately, there's a bunch of work to do before X will even consider
running, like mouse and keyboard drivers (can you tell how I use most of
my sgi boxes? 8-).  

As for XZ cards, I'm not 100% sure... I thought some work had been done
to allow the Newport driver to run on the low-end graphics cards in the
Indigo2's, but I think that was for the XL cards, not XZ... You can look
at http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/linux-mips/xfree86/ for the latest
info on the Newport (and other SGI-related) drivers for XFree... While
the site is Linux-specific, most of the code shouldn't be very hard to
port to NetBSD once it's written 8-)
