Sure. 

The other constraint is that we need to emulate Xws _anyway_.  Because
DEC never released the programming specs or Xserver source code for
the "accelerated" framebuffer TC boards, and now even DEC doesn't have
docs: all that's available is the DEC Ultrix Xserver binaries.

Emulating that means feeding keyboard and pointer events into
something very like the existing shared-memory ringbuffer framework,
but different in detail.... I have code that handles the
non-accelerated boards, but I left the input side alone, since
changing it would break the R5 Xservers.

Mattias, maybe we should exchange code snippets?
