Hi, here is X.org 1.20.5 running just fine on NetBSD/dreamcast 9.3:

I'm using GDEMU, an optical drive emulator for the Dreamcast, to boot a 
cdi converted from an iso spit out by dc-burn-netbsd containing a 9.3 
GENERIC kernel. The root filesystem and swap live on another NetBSD 
machine and are being served over NFS. It's quite slow, things would be 
much faster with a local disk I'm sure.

Decently often, once a program is done playing audio, the audio device 
will be left unresponsive. This has been triggered by audioplay and 
mpg123 for me. It doesn't just happen if the program gets interrupted; 
if the program completes successfully and you try to play something 
again the issue will also occur.
