Thanks :)

For the records - I wrote wsdisplay support for all SBus graphics  
hardware I have here and then some.
We have wsdisplay support for:
- all CG6 variants
- CG14
- Fujitsu AG-10e
- Weitek P9100 found in some SPARCbooks

We lack wsdisplay support for:
- SS5 onboard graphics
- any monochrome framebuffers
- ZX/Leo

There is a good chance I can get pretty much any SBus graphics card to  
work at least as dumb console. If there is any sort of documentation  
or sample code out there I should be able to get hw acceleration going.

We lack support for pretty much all SBus graphics cards not made by  
Sun, mostly for lack of hardware in the right hands.

have fun
Michael
