I've heard that Cobalt in the O2 is supported on MIPS Linux, using a
port of XFree that I've never actually seen available.  But I haven't
heard anything about it working on linux on the 320s.

I've never heard anything about X support for it.  The 320 is not just a
PC, any more than a DataGeneral is just a PC or a sun 386i is just a
PC.  At least, to my understanding, that is.
