The QDSS kernel driver is done and it has been integrated into
-current.  It supports the use of the QDSS as the console and running X
on QDSS.  However, you'd need an Xqdss binary for X.  I'm now trying to
integrate qdss support into X11R6.3.  That's less fun than working on
kernel stuff.

For QVSS there is a 4.3BSD driver.  Getting it to work with NetBSD
shouldn't be too much of a problem.  I don't have a QVSS, but if
somebody was to give me one I could get the driver working fairly
quickly, because the stuff that needs to be done is quite simillar to
the stuff that I had to do with QDSS.

Nathan Schepers is currently working on monochrome VS2000 support.

As for colour VAXstation video support, I don't think anything is being
done and it will be a problem because there isn't any free source and
the hardware is quite complicated.  Hopefully it's documented
somewhere...
