	Well, I must say... I'm impressed as heck with 1.4.1 on a SparcClassic.
That's a quick little box, and the installation was far smoother than the
one I went through with a MicroVAX.

	My one concern: I've tried both the onboard frame buffer and a higher-end
version. With the built-in, X11 came up no problem at all with a
decent-looking desktop and three XTerminal sessions.

	However, when I installed a different frame buffer (Sun #612-1021),
something odd happened. The desktop came up, but there were no XTerminal
windows open anywhere, and the thing would not respond to the 'Exit'
command from the left mouse button menu.

	Does this incarnation of X not like some frame buffers, or did I miss a
step in ./MAKEDEV all?

	Thanks in advance.
