I have a Compaq 486 laptop that also only works in 16 colors with Xvesa 
but is fine with the svga server.

Would it be enough to replace JUST libX11.so with something from a later 
Xfree (4.6.0 or 4.0.1) or must we replace all the X libraries to match?

How much larger would 4.0.1 be (for libc5) than 3.3.3 (SW4.0), just for 
the few basic X libraries used by BL3 (before adding the extra ones in 
your package)?

I will hunt for a libc5 3.3.6 libX11.
