Ah, very fine. FWIW, I simply did a 'make World' in a newly CVS'd
/usr/xsrc with no source modification, and have a proper XFree86 4.5.0
installation now. It does "just work" on this Miata, but I understand
there may be Alpha model-specific issues at play.
I had misread the recent 4.5.0 import threads as suggesting that a
build.sh -x should build the XFree86 server on Alpha, among other
platforms.
