Now that I have NetBSD up and running on both a MicroVax and VaxStation, 
the only fly in the ointment is the VS's monitor and mouse lying around 
unused. I assume that for NetBSD to support X on the Vax would require 
both a kernel driver and a suitable X server. Is anyone working on this 
area[0], or do most people connect to their boxes from X capable 
machines, thus making graphical support a very low priority?

[0] I would volunteer to work on this area myself, but for a massive 
lack of experience - I'm only used to application programming, not 
system stuff - I've read the "Design and Implementation ..." book, but 
that's about it.
