There you go, it needed to be re-created from scratch due to the changes over 
the year.
But it wasn't a big deal, only half an hour. The buggy Xinerama functions which 
prevent GDM from working on SPARC are a different story, they ate up the entire 
night and morning (strictly speaking the question is, which one of the two 
actually contains something which constitutes the "bug", and which one is just 
the victim of the other).

Total changesets: 1
Log message:
* Merging in updated SVR4 pkgdefs for SUNWxorg-fonts.
* preparing Xorg 1.3 for compatibility with a default gdm on SPARC
(how best to fix the broken Xinerama functions in randr 1.2 ... ?
Work in progress. Disabling Xinerama for now, on SPARC.
But this breaks the build in a douzen places. My incorporated patch
is disabled, it doesn't make gdm work. Will consume the rest of the weekend.
Soon to be updated again.
