A small, but important correction and clarification to my recent posting:

In <veit.720883677@du9ds3> veit@du9ds3.uni-duisburg.de I wrote:

Should read 'driver'. XFree86-1.1 is neither official part of 386bsd-0.1 nor
"contributed to 386bsd" as the "codrv" driver replacement.

Also, the fixes made to XFree86 are my own and are based on an unmodified
XFree86-1.1; this is not "alpha" or "beta" code of the coming version
XFree86-1.2.
