	No. It does work as expected. My screen is able to send information to 
graphic adapter (it works with a Linux box [amd64] running Xorg).

	NetBSD/alpha tries to initialize console with following reolution : 
1280x1024x8 :

...
pm3fb0: pm3 using 1280 x 1024 in 8 bit, stride 1280
wsdisplay0 at pm3fb0 kbdmux 1: console (default, vt100 emulation)
...

and if I tries to use different depth in xorg, X aborts. I'm trying to 
configure 1280x1024x24 for console _and_ X. I have tried to force this 
mode in pm3fb.c without any success. I haven't test your latest patch.

	And I have seen some strange quirks. I'll send you a photo in a few 
minutes.

	Best regards,
