  The high resolution of the Second Sight board would certainly make
X more feasible from a display point of view, but unfortunately the GS
(even when accelerated) probably still doesn't have the grunt to run X
very fast!  Plus porting the X server to ORCA/C would undoubtable be
very, very painful (it's a very big, very messy program!).
  Still, it would be an interesting project to imbark upon, if suicidal :-)
