Hi folks!

I've installed 3.0 on a SS20 biproc (Ross RT625) 100mhz + 166mhz, and it's running quite fine SMP.
The box has the 8 Mb VSIMM, but X does run 8-bit only.The Xsun24 server doesn't support the cg14!
That was kind of a dismay.OpenBSD (which runs only one cpu) does the 24-bit, non-accel. since a while (uses their implementation of wscons in dev/cgfourteen.c )
Linux too makes the X server talk 24-bit with the cg14.
Well, what the heck with NetBSD?
I built a kernel with the CG14_CG8 option, which did nothing.
By searching the mailing list archive I found a lonely message, with a link to slighty different
cgfourteen.c and cgfourteenvar.h, modified from a "der Mouse" previous code.

the files are still on his site:
http://www.menea.ch/netbsd/cg14.tar.gz

It compiles clean and now I have 24-bit on the cgfourteen.
So with 448Mb ram and two or four cpu, the box makes for a nice desktop.

Maybe that possibility could be documented on the FAQ ?
