Ooooooo! That would be interesting.
Well, I can say the the performance of the VXT2000+ is not stelar, but it's
usable. Just don't run any windowmanagers in full screen drag mode, the window
take time to catch up with the mouse, feels like X on a i386... Also it really
helps to have a X font server running, the builtin font selection is...well
"limited."
I do have to say one thing about that box, it does give off a lot of heat!
I started trying to load a vax-netbsd install kernel via mop and actually seemed
to make some head way but got cut short by a nasty storm yesterday. I'll let
you know what I find out...
