WARNING - THIS SOFTWARE COULD HANG YOUR MACHINE.
READ THE SuperProbe.1 MANUAL PAGE BEFORE
RUNNING THIS PROGRAM.
INTERRUPT WITHIN FIVE SECONDS TO ABORT!
SuperProbe: CONSOLE_X_MODE_ON failed
SuperProbe: Cannot open video
>How-To-Repeat:
/usr/X11R6/bin/SuperProbe
>Fix:
At a guess the NetBSD X customisation was not correctly applied
when SuperProbe was compiled. The version of Superprobe in the
later snapshots works fine.
