This XF68_FBDev_pm2_4 server works. Thank you.
Of course, it's working in the context of the version 3.3.3.1-03 x* (Feb)
pkgs noted above. Because the current x* pkgs are not working on a PB3400 ,
I think my present functionality implies something is wrong with the
current x* pkgs, not in the xserver pkg(s), but in the xfont* pkgs.
