Just wondering, what is missing for X, say on the 3100m38?  My guess
is that it's mostly keyboard, mouse, and framebuffer support for the
server in the kernel?  If so...

I haven't looked at any of the above, but unless Ultrix 3.1 predates
X, couldn't we use these sources to "clean-room" our own such support
for NetBSD?
