Just replacing ofb.c and friends doesn't work anymore. 
But something else - has anyone got the imstt driver in XFree86 to work on NetBSD? It seems to depend on fbdevhw which is Linux-only... I'd even volunteer to hack fbdevhw to work on NetBSD but I'd need some pointers first - how can I access an OpenFirmware framebuffer from NetBSD/macppc? I played with direct framebuffer access on NetBSD/hp300 but I couldn't find a device / man page for macppc yet. I'd just need to read the display geometry / colour depth, map the framebuffer and maybe change colour depth... ( and leave frequencies and resolution at whetever OF sets it for the time being )

have fun
