Hello,

The source and what you need to build the Xserver is imported but so 
far not used by anything.

Cool :)

I imported it a while ago, added the missing bits and pieces to make it 
work on sparc64 ( because that's my main work horse and 64bit problems 
are more likely to show up on BE machines ) Seems reasonably stable so 
far.
Saw your posts on the xorg mailing list - I fixed the X vs. X0 problem 
locally ( not sure if I committed it, I'm in the middle of moving ) - 
the socket is getting the wrong name length, one too short so the 0 is 
cut off but the unlink() call gets the correct name ( with trailing 0 ) 
so the socket is not deleted.

have fun
Michael
