<PRE>Hi,
Unless someone comes along and does a reasonable amount of coding before
mga2, I think we'll have to deprecate supporting startx (it can still be
used in some circumstances, but audio and accelerated graphics will not
be available).
See this comment (and the link therein) for more info on the issue:
