                     19: NetBSD already has DRM/KMS support. It's implementing all the same calls as linux.  
                     20: Making linux programs running under COMPAT_LINUX aware of this requires some glue.  
                     21: <!-- XXX, does it? -->
                     22: 
                     23: Similarly, running 32-bit programs on a 64-bit host requires some glue code.  
                     24: The 32bit glue code is already written for Linux, so can be a source of inspiration.

                     28: 
                     29: * Create a setup so that a linux glxgears/glxinfo can be tested (software acceleration should already work)
                     30: * Create glue so linux DRM ioctls are understood as NetBSD DRM ioctls, with no modification.
                     31: * Test a bigger program
                     32: * Create a setup for 32bit glxgears/glxinfo.
                     33: * Adapt linux 32bit compat code, being inspired by existing 32bit compat.
                     34: * Try to run a bigger program, like 32-bit NetBSD Firefox.
