The latest sparc64 snapshot going out to the mirrors now contains new
support for running X on sparc64 consoles.  Some stuff doesn't quite
work yet, but that's the nature of a huge brand new feature...

What works:
	Framebuffers:
		pci: vga (ATI) framebuffers (must be prom console)
		sbus: cgsix, cgthree
	Keyboards:
		usb: sun type 6
		sbus: sun type 3/4/5/6 on zs
		pci: sun type 3/4/5/6 on com
	Mice:
		usb: any usb mouse will do
		sbus: sun on zs
		pci: sun on com

What doesn't work:
	- accelerated X servers
	- xdm (coredumps) [xinit or startx can be used to start the server]
	- ico (hangs X server)
	- probably more stuff like this...

I'm interested in having folks help find and fix problems in X, which is
why the snapshot is going out now... So, if you've been wanting X on
your OpenBSD/sparc64 machine, grab the snapshot and start sending
patches...
