Yes, it would. Software also needs some way to figure out the
resulting pixel dimensions of the screen, too.  That's why the
original poster is losing: the SFB hardware is capable of doing the
Right Thing for the VR290/299 monitor, but the NetBSD kernel doesn't
know that and isn't handling it properly.

If anyone comes across an SFB for sale, I'm definitely in the market...
