Eh, a few mails back:
genfb0 at pci0 dev 4 function 0: S3 Trio64V2/DX

Hmm, it would make sense if they used a P9100 in the prep laptop -  
the other choice would be a CT65550 which is slower and lacks line  
drawing support.

No idea how different the Trio is from Virge and so on.
Last time I used X with an S3 chip was ages ago with a VLB S3 805 in  
some 486 PC.
Anyway, ENOHARDWARE and I still need to write raptorfb for sparc64,  
now that I have the right docs from 3Dlabs ;)
So, if somehow a small prep, ofppc or whatever box with a matrox or  
virge board materializes on my doorstep I'll certainly feel compelled  
to write drivers.

have fun
Michael
