the fb capable X server is a dream come true.  well, sorta.  but it is a
lifesaver.  with the fb device i can run X in 24-bit mode on a video card that
is 100% unsupported (besider 256 colors, ick) by the standard X servers.
a bit of a resource hog (remember we are EMULATING framebuffer hardware)
but it does work.  something tells me if you got the fb device working for
NetBSD/mac86k it would solve a lot of X related problems people are having.

just some random info.
