so, i switched my desktop from a ss20 to an ultra 2, the weekend
   before sparc smp went it (had i known, i would have waited), to
   get more cpu.  i am having problems with X on a gx+.  there
   are a few issues that seem to be LP64 related.  eg:
   
   	- kbd leds are not handled properly
   	- Xsun bus-error when colormap switches (think i've nailed this one)
   	etc.
   
   to be sure i'm doing something which will be accepted for commit, is there
   some web-page with guidelines for making things LP64 safe?
   
   for example; there are several uses of (unsigned) longs.  in this case,
   so far, most of these seem to be harmless, but i've found a few that
   really should be a 32bit int.  when folks are making LP64 fixes, is it
   customary to just leave longs that do not matter as is, or make them of
   the "intended" type?
   

well, it depends.. it's usually better to clean this up anyway
but if it's really huge amounts of code change for no real 
reason i tend to avoid it and just do the necessary parts.

are you using xsrc/xc or xsrc/xfree ?  it would be nice if you
were using the latter...


thanks for working on this!
