Well, not quite  :(

At least one card, the E-Machines Futura-SX does not (yet) work with
Taras's video-lkm code.  But I'm working on it.

I suspect that there'll likely be problems with many _accellerated_ video
cards such as the -SX.  These cards, under MacOS, do a lot more than just
put pixels on the glass;  they also tend to intercept lots of MacOS system
calls (most of which, fortunately, NetBSD/Mac doesn't need) and they also
make a lot more calls to more esoteric portions of the Mac ROMs than
"simple" frame-buffer cards.
