amd64 as an X desktop?

Hi all,

KDE-FreeBSD is starting to work on getting KDE running on ia64. A lousy
task, since there's no X port, and no gdb either. Plus, ia64 boxes are
ruddy expensive, and so there's not enough of them to play with. I was
thinking of getting an amd64 box to play with, to perhaps sort out some of
the other 32-bit x86 linux-centric stuff in KDE. However, I'm a KDE guy,
not a kernel, X, or gdb guy, so I need to have that basis stable before I
can get anything done.

How's X's stability on amd64 right now? Does gdb work?
