Yes, I see that now.  I was looking for that report to come through, 
but I'd missed it.  It did arrive.

I'll try that, although it's a bit of a nuisance, since I need a 
-current "config" as well, to build the kernel.  I'll install an 
up-to-date -current on this machine this evening.

I'll try that, too, but as I said in the PR, the 4.2.0 driver works 
fine under Linux (in fact, I'm using it to type this email, since I 
don't yet have X under NetBSD on this machine).
