Probably so.  If you can find a kernel that still uses MRG_ADB, you should
be in much better shape, I'd assume.

Possibly.  As for the two different drivers, the ite only really supports
writing characters to the screen, I believe, whereas the grf device
supports all of the fun stuff like putting pixels in explicitly requested
places.

Later.
