X.org Server for Ultra45 with XVR-300

[Pat Kane]

Alan and Jay,

Thanks for the help.    I was able to hack the sunCfb
code to get a X root image and X cursor to appear
on the Ultra 45's framebuffer.  The image is a bit odd,
the scan lines (some?) are shift about half the screen
width.  But the experiment is good enuf to prove that
I can access the hardware.
