I'm fairly certain that this is your problem.  There are a number of
problems with the grf code that are only fixed in NetBSD-current.  The
problem at the moment is that -current has a problem with the sbc driver
(the machine independent part of it, specifically).

Your reading of the code is essentially correct.  The changes I committed
to -current a couple weeks back integrated all of the intvidtest
functionality as well as other changes and some significant bug fixes.

Well, `sort of.'  You'd probably have better luck with 1.3.1, actually.
There are of course drawbacks to that, e.g. some security problems.
