Isn't this basically the same thing? Unless the X server does a 
FBIOSATTR or something similar on the frame buffer, it behaves as a cgthree.
You can try this by opening the frame buffer under solaris and doing an 
FBIOGTYPE ioctl -- it says cgthree; FBIOGATTR says it is a MDICOLOR emulating 
a cgthree.

Yeah, SX != cg14, but they seem to always come together...

But you just said in a prior message that the cg14 patches are not yet
available...is there any way to get a hold of them? Have they been
submitted to the X consortium? Right now the cg14 works find on NetBSD 
in 8-bit mode (cgthree emulation, just like solaris), but
the X server coredumps when the driver is emulating a cgeight, and it
dumps core before even mmaping the display.
