Hello,

And here is the problem - the card claims to run in 8bit colour and
genfb believes it. So, this isn't genfb's fault, it's the firmware
that's lying.

Nope, I'm not sure. Can you get anything useful out of the genfb line
above?

You might be able to work around this - just have a look at the words
defined on the Raptor's node. Several of them should be video modes,
like r1152x900x76x8.

I'm not very familiar with OFW, but I tried this:
{0} ok dev screen
{0} ok words
selftest        disp-test       close   remove          restore
draw-logo       write           open    install
{0} ok

That's all I see. I tried the disp-test, but it said everything is ok.
Typing 'install' just hangs the system.  'open' tells me
Unimplemented package interface procedure
'draw-logo' says the following:
<--deferred word not initialized

Interestingly, when I ask for '.properties', I get a line which says
depth                   00 00 00 20

This is weird.

, reset-all and have a look at the depth property.

Still says 00 00 00 20, but it still reports 0x8 in NetBSD's debug output.

Hmm, I'll have a look at the code - right now I have no idea why the kernel would get that wrong.

have fun
Michael
