Because we don't have drivers for the video cards, we just leave the video
how OF left it.

A number of folks have talked about how to do this. Talk to Roland
Dodswell as he has a good idea on how to do this. When done "right," the
dirvers can be shared among all pci netbsd ports. So a driver written for
i386 (Intel PC's) should work for macppc and Alpha and sparc64... :-)

Take care,
