Bugs aside, this is no small feat - the X's bootloader has yet to be unlocked (yes, that was a hoax), which thus far has resulted in a slew of ROMs based on MOTOBLUR. CyanogenMod, however, has its roots deep in the well of stock Android, making a version for the DROID X (or, for that matter, any modern Motorola handset) seemingly infeasible. So how on Earth did cvpcs do it? On RootzWiki, he wrote:

This was done using my recently new-found-knowledge of 2nd-init, which I will describe later in a blog post (don't want to get into it here). This still runs on top of the original Motorola kernel though. I repeat, the bootloader is still locked, and you are still forced into using Moto's kernels, but that doesn't really prevent us from doing all that much. :D

Additionally, he recently tweeted that:

You have to use the Froyo kernel to boot it (2.3.34 sbf), but the firmware is Gingerbread :)

Though cvpcs is currently the exclusive owner of this firmware, he says he'll be looking for beta testers later in the week - definitely exciting news for tech-savvy DROID X users. He also promises to share more information later tonight, and we'll be sure to update this post accordingly as soon as that happens.
