I've finally got the QDSS driver to work with X. I ran a 4.3BSD Xqdss
binary and it actually worked. Apparently all this time chasing panics
and rebooting the MicroVAX II has paid off. Now the QDSS works both as
a console and under X.
BTW. The fact that a 4.3BSD Xqdss binary worked must mean that the
4.3BSD emulation is rather good.
There is still some work to be done. With the QDSS driver I have to
clean up the changes, fix the QDSS detection routines (they now assume
it is there) and do some testing. I suppose that after that the code
can be integrated in the kernel.
Some work needs to be done with the X server as well. Xqdss is not
included in X11R6.3. The Xqdss sources form an earlier X release
(X11R5, I think) will have to be integrated into the current X sources.
