	Here's a bit of information on what several (well, three)
kernels think about the internal and external (Micron Xceed Color 30)
on my SE/30, in the hopes that it might prove useful to those working
on the console stuff.

	Neither dt nor X will run on my external display, but both are
happy on the internal.  The program I used to output this stuff is
included below.

	The latest (?) MRG kernel from puma and the netbsd.patched
kernel from the "old" directory both produced identical results.  Not
surprising, I suppose.  The only place they differed from the generic
kernel is in what they think the frame buffer size is, but since none
of the kernels work anyway, it seems this is irrelevant?

	Anyway, I had it around, so I thought I'd send it out.  If it's
just noise, my apologies, and feel free to delete it before you read
it...  ;-)
