After some considerable fumbling about, I now have CURRENT installed
and running.  I *did* install userland; I noticed some kldxref errors
that probably weren't really errors about static modules and decided I
was nervous.

But the Palm Treo seems to connect up reliably on an initial test, both
to sync updates from the Palm to a backup directory on the system, and
to install a bunch of files from the system onto the Palm.  This is a
test it was failing miserably under the last instance of 6.2 I had tested.

So your new USB stack is at least better.  Also, someone did some nice
work someplace that impacted Xorg (I also updated some ports, so maybe
it is just that); it comes up much faster now.

Thanks!
