sure, after having fixed the X problem I had with artist/viz-eg cards
I've spend some time looking at HCRX. I've found one problem, when we
load the color for the HCRX, the card locks up, probably because we
do a whole color map load per setcolreg() call. I've changed that
and the card doesn't lock up anymore. But either I get wrong colors
without colormap loading or I have some strange looking stuff "behind"
the normal screen content. It looks like either we need to initialize
the Z-Buffer (I'll try without, when I get home) or some overlay/attribute
planes need a better treatment.

right now I'm not at home (and behind a 28.8k modem connection) and I only
have a C200 with me, which has other STI problems. So it will take a little
bit more time, to get the HCRX going.
