From your dmesg, it looks like your PWS and indeed NetBSD support the card.
I think what you need to do is (either on the serial console or the
"graphical" console) type:

>>> show console

It'll probably be set to serial. If that's the case you can try:

>>> set console graphics

This should tell it to output console stuff to the tga card instead of the
serial port. To find a list of options for the console setting try:

>>> set console ?

It should complain about an invalid setting and list possible valid
settings.

Cheers,

Collin

Worked! I would be nice to have it on my other monitor tho, seems
this machine has a tga card, is this the reason?

If I replaced the tga with a vga compatible it would give me my
screen back, right?

And what about this ?
