yes, it builds and works. you have to enable a vga driver mode at the
kernel prompt though.
you'll get a completely barebone X desktop with nothing else on it as
the ugly xclock and 2 xterms (after ca 20 seconds of pointless waiting...)
not something anybody except nortti wants to use...

what kept me from configuring X11 to work properly is its huge freaking
complexity.
if an older version is simpler and can do the job as well, i'm all for it.

against it.
probably not worth the effort.
