I have some more work yet to do on SVR4 compat, which is on my task list.
I'm glad to hear that it works this well (it means christos, and to a little
extent I, have done something right ;).

I don't have a local display so full motion video is almost out of the
question for me to test this with.  You can see still frames, but not the
full video feed?  Do a strings on the binary and grep for '/dev/' and
'/devices/' and see if it's trying to twiddle the framebuffer directly.

I have a feeling we may just be missing some ioctls, so when I get a chance
I will try to ktrace this.
