Yep, XalphaNetBSD requires no config:  just a keyboard, a mouse and
a TGA.  :-)

Hmmm, yes.  The X server is not resetting the colormap back to its
original state one exit.  I attach a program that will manipulate
the colormap.  You can change it to whatever you want.  :-)

Probably you are.  You could hack the X server to change the lack
of a mouse into a warning rather than an error to get X working,
though.  Perhaps we should do that.
