Yes.  The Kernel I'm running was built from the source tree as it existed 
at the time of the freeze. I just checked a few days ago when I copied 
down the 1.2 Binary tarballs, and nothing in the sources have changed, so 
as far as I can tell I'm running a 1.2 Kernel and mono-X works just fine 
on my Performa-550.  The only minor difference I see is a check for a 
NULL value that triggers the use of mac68k_phys for the video address.  
When Scott and I played with it I thought we concluded the test should be 
for NULL or zero, and that's what my version has in it.
