U2(2x400), kernel 2.4.31-sparc-r2, came up cleanly with X-modular using
the script posted at http://dev.gentoo.org/~fmccor/files/X-modular.sh
with one exception:  I did not let the script try to
populate /etc/portage/package.[unmask,keywords] files because I had
already populated them for X-modular.  I do not know if the population
attempt catches everything.  As always, revdep-rebuild after an install
is mandatory.

OBSERVATIONS
------------
1.  VTswitch seems to be inoperable, any kernel, any system.
2.  With kernel-2.6.14, AltGraph+<any key> seems not to work.  With
kernel 2.4.31, that key is mapped to Mode_switch, and it works as
expected.  With 2.6.14, it is AltR and does nothing.  Remap it to
Mode_switch ( xmodmap -e 'keycode 113 = Mode_switch'); it still does
nothing.  (Of course, also you need
xmodmap -e 'keycode 117 = Multi_key' with kernel 2.6.xx, but you already
knew that.)  Perhaps with kernel-2.6.xx, Mode_switch is not the correct
mapping; I'll play with it later.

Regards and feedback requested,
