     AFAIK, yes.  I don't dare run xorg until those two problems have been
fixed at the very least.  As for the kernel bugs, once the graphics problems
have been fixed, I should be able to post the rest of the PRs myself.  However,
11.4 is going to be released soon, and those need to be fixed if 11.4 will
return the stable/11 branch to production quality.  If they aren't, then I
stand by my earlier statement that 11.1 was the last production-quality release
of 11.  IOW, because I anticipate a delay until the graphics problems have
been fixed, someone ought to post PRs for the kernel bugs in time for them
to be fixed before 11.4 is released.
     Do you still have what I sent?  Is there more info that you need?
