Well, since I wrote that message, I upgraded my system NetBSD-current
using the snapshot/950301 and along with it, I installed Ezy's cirrus
driver, which works wonderfully with Xamiga24. I can't really get Xcl
to work with it, but that's not that drastic, since I have an X server of
some sort. In case anyone wonders, if I start Xcl, the screen changes
to the familiar pattern background, but I never get the 'X' pointer and
the server appears to be frozen. Unfortunately, the only thing I can do
at that point is the old Ctrl-A-A. (fsck really loves that!)
