Hello,

I'm running NetBSD 1.5 on a SparcStation 10SX that has the daughter card 
(p/n 501-2020) on it for an additional framebuffer.  It has two video 
connectors.  It also has two 8MB VSIMMs so theoretically I can get two 24 
bit framebuffers running on it.

Is there any way to compile the kernel so that both framebuffers are 
supported?  I 'hacked' the config file and rebuilt to support multiple 
framebuffers, and the kernel found the extra cgfourteen but wasn't able to 
connect it to a /dev (do I create a second /dev/fb somehow?).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
