NetBSD provides only basic vga support - if you mean graphics support see 
XFree86 documentation

you will probably have to install -current as 2.0.2 doesn't support well 
most new disk controllers. at least i had such a problem with my 
motherboard. anyway - -current runs stable here and... REALLY FAST...

no graphics anyway - i do graphics only remotely from X terminals so i put 
any PCI graphics just to boot.
