	It's a GeForce 2 MX using "nv". The last bug report I sent them on 
the TDFX driver (xsrc/19067 at NetBSD) has yet to receive any answer after 
more than 6 months. Guess I'll compile the latest X source and see if it 
still happens first.

I'm trying to port NetBSD to my cup of tea, but it keeps kernel panicking 
on refill. This is odd, because I ported it to my toaster and my bookcase 
easily enough and it survives bread- and book-replacement fine.

Any hints?
