Zaka Bhatti <zaka@borogove.shs.ohio-state.edu> asks:

	I am trying to get X11 to work on our Sparc station 1 with a
	cgsix device.  X11 comes up but the window is slightly shifted
	to the right and a little to the top. If I move the mous left
	the pointer moves right and then appears on the left of the
	screen.

David DiGiacomo talks about <sundev/cg6reg.h>, but neglects to talk
about the other "problem" this guy is having -- the warping.  I ran
into this only yesterday, when someone got an IPC around here.  It
turns out that if the /dev entries exist for other, non-attached frame
buffers, the server tries to map them anyway.  Removing all but the
actually attached framebuffer and display gets you back to the
non-wrapping display.

Cool, huh?
