Okay...solved my config coredump problem...I guess I forgot to make clean
when I rebuilt config.  Oops. ;-)

Anyhow, a real problem now.  It looks like framebuffer semantics have
changed, and cg4 no longer builds right (I don't think any of the other
fb's
would compile either, but cg4 is the onlyone I tried).  There's a linker
error with fbpoll and cg4poll.  

Looking over at the Sparc port, it looks like the fbdriver struct wants new
arguments, with all of the video stuff (gvideo/svideo/cmap stuff, et al)
under a common ioctl interface.  Not a real big deal, I've got (I think)
that part worked out.  But what is cg4poll() supposed to do?  The sparc
port just calls their "seltrue" function on it, and I can't seem to track
that down, nor figure out what it does.

Is there any documentation on the changes to the framebuffer stuff from
1.2->current?  I'd really like to get my CG4 driver working (so I can
integrate my CG4 stuff, that handles both CG4 types).

Help! ;-)
