Hiya,

I realise that the majority of users out there think that suntools is quite
possibly the worst UI this side of NT, but one thing I discovered that it
has over BrokenWindows, and even X, is speed.  Suntools comes up blindingly
fast, especially on something like a Sparc 10 or Sparc 20.  I don't use it
as a user, but I used to like to run it as super-user when all I needed was
some quick windows.

The problem, as you might well imagine, is that the pixrect stuff is not
supported, and neither are the win* devices.  I had all the libraries and
had all the device nodes present, but it failed with either ENOSYS or
ENODEV, both of which indicate a lack of a driver to deal with the calls.

I know the cgsix driver is WOEfully short on its capabilities; according
to the manual page, there is just enough of an implementation in our kernel
to make X go.  What would it take to complete the implementation?
(as a kernel compile-time option, of _course_, and disabled by default --
not everyone wants to run this cruft).

Rule #1:
    If you can't interrupt it, terminate it.
    If you can't terminate it, kill it.
    If you can't kill it, reboot.	--greywolf@starwolf.com
