The startx stuff scrolls a LOT of text by, quite quickly.  I suppose that
I could be clever and direct its output to a file, though...

Oh, the sources are there?  It looked like just a bunch of news &
hardware-specific drivers.  I'll have to have another look.  (^&

The above URL says that the current Ripperda GLX runs with ``Mesa 3.x''.

Are you recommending that I grab the most recent (release) sources of X
and Mesa for NetBSD?

/usr/X11/bin/xdpyinfo, as Soren points out, provides this info.  (In fact,
it provides what I remembered seeing, but I was unable to remember the
program that I needed to use.)
