I wonder what the status is of X11 on the cgfour framebuffer?  Under PK's
snapshot of May 2, X fails with the error:

         molotov# /usr/bin/X11/X :0                     
         mapping frame buffer memory: Invalid argument
         Couldn't allocate frame buffer memory: Cannot allocate memory

         Fatal server error:
         no screens found

I get the same error with "X :0 -dev /dev/cgfour0"; /dev/bwtwo0 simply
does not work.

I *had* gotten a monochrome X server running under Jason's
February-28(?) 4/100-specific kernel; but this snapshot (as well as
-current as of a few days ago) does not seem to support X (although in
all other respects the machine is running beautifully).  Is this a known
problem?  (Have I just picked the wrong time to grab -current?)  My
machine description follows; any
suggestions will be welcome.
