Cool, please do so! Btw, this X and NetBSD is compiled from the sources of 
-current of about July 20th.

Unfortunately, xorg-servers will not build as various things require 
"machine/fbio.h" (e.g. in the xc/programs/Xserver/hw/sun directory) which 
is not present. I havent look at commenting sun out from the makefiles 
yet.

I have two of them and I could donate one ... well ... but guess sending 
it is more expensive than grabbing one for EUR 2 or so :)
