That's right, kids; hw/xorg (essentially, Xizzle), works.

Admittedly it looks very strange, and running xterm under it was
certainly the most colourful experience I've ever had with xterm. But
never mind that.

If you run with the fbdev driver and Option "NoShadowFB", everything
works fine(ish). You can use the mouse and keyboard, and meaningfully
interact with applications. Everything you'd expect to happen, happens.

But stuff is broken, and I honestly don't know how to handle this one.
miext/shadow has a wildly different API between the xserver DIX and
XFree86's DIX, so I had to comment out the Shadow FB stuff. Also, I'm
lost with the colourmaps.

I had to add the !NULL check in front of CMapReinstallMap, but the
problem, it would seem, is that pmap is ever NULL in the first place.
I'm out of my depth here, and am taking tomorrow off (my hands are
detiriorating, and I have a 1500-word essay to do before then; yesterday
was my only 'day off' in the past few weeks), so if someone (Keith? Jim?
Anyone who knows this stuff?), would care to look at the cmap issue and
make xterm less funky, that'd be cool.

Cheers,
:) d (yay!)
