Yeah, I tried this. But it segfaulted with like 50 functions on the call
stack scattered over a huge number of source files, it seems. :-p
Something was getting passed a null pointer instead of a pointer to a
window (the root window, I think), or some such bogosity. Unfortunately,
the X11 source is...not conducive to understanding.

If I can figure out which kernel parameter to tune, maybe I'll try a full
debugging build again...

To port-sparc: has anyone out there sucessfully used Xsun24 on any type
of NetBSD-supported frame buffer (esp. cg8)?
