What /exactly/ didn't work? If you don't tell us what failed when and
how nobody can fix it. There was a number of fixes in COMPAT_NETBSD32
recently, you may want to update your sources.

Tricky. Are you at all familiar with XFree86's build system? Fixing gtk
may be easier.=20
There's a number of Imakefiles to change ( mainly to enable the same
functionality as for sparc64, look at
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support ), then hack
xc/config/cf/NetBSD.cf and xc/config/xc/xfree86.cf, make it build the
same modules as on sparc64. You may want to disable Xsun*. I never
succeeded building XFree86 without PCI support so you'll need to enable
this too, even if you don't use any PCI graphics device. Luckily
NetBSD/sparc and NetBSD/sparc64 are compatible in these things.

I guess I'll have a look at gtk2 and friends, PgUp/PgDown not working
properly is annoying.

have fun
Michael
