The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc as well.

Hi! Based on the answers received to my queries and on the docs
referenced, the following conclusions appear correct concerning netbsd
on i386:

1. netbsd does not (yet) support the framebuffer device

2. netbsd wscons does not (yet) support a higher text console resolution
   than 80Cx50L

3. netbsd wscons does not (yet) support pc-like function key mapping
   required for correct use of the netbsd package midnight commander

Please correct this if it is mistaken. Thanks.

Cheers!

Lucien
