Hi.

I wane use a U2 for a special purpose. Due to some brain dead software,
that is not 64 bit clean, I need to run a 32 bit kernel and user land on
that machine. I also need X11. The U2 runns -current with a:
ffb0 at mainbus0 addr 0xfec00000: Creator3D, model SUNW,501-2633, dac 10
ffb0: found old DAC, enabling redraw on unblank
ffb0: attached to /dev/fb0

How to get X11 running?
Is this supported at all?
I did some experiments but XFree86 fails and I am not able to decode the
output due to ENOX11CLUE.

E.g. I run "XFree86 -configure" and get
[...]
netbsdPciInit: can't open /dev/pci0
[...]
Fatal? Non-fatal? No PCI =3D> no X11?

If I can't use a UPA framebuffer, what about a SBus CG6?
