I've never found m64config settings to survive reboots, so I don't
think it can help with NetBSD.

Also the 'fbconfig -gui' man page refers to a 'SUNWdcm' package:

         In addition, the GUI allows advanced users to  create  a
         new video format (resolution) that some graphics devices
         can select  from  fbconfig  command  line  or  from  the
         device-dependent  portion  of  the GUI. The GUI's online
         help explains all options and features.

Which sounds like it would help you with non-Sun monitors sorta like
modelines in XFree86, except without the suckage of having the kernel
debugger be useless.  On some obscure web ``forum,'' a Sun employee
admitted The SUNWdcm package is vapourware as of Solaris 10.
