Ah, I must have misunderstood. One serious problem I don't remember if I've
mentioned before - when doing the Xsun->Xfree86 bridge, we had to recompile
all the XFree86 modules because Xsun & XFree86 added entries to various common
structures like GC in different places. To make a bridge the other way work,
you'ld either have to require the SPARC graphics group to rebuild their
modules with the Xorg headers or put in conversion routines everywhere you
call between the Xorg server and the Xsun module.
