I have a SPARCStation IPC, with a cg3 Sbus card and a bwtwo
built in to the board.  I also have cabling and monitors that
work appropriately.

When I boot NetBSD 1.1 (ftp'ed from ftp.netbsd.org just 2 weeks ago),
the cg3 card decides it is the console, and the monitor attached to
the bwtwo builtin card never seems to get initialized properly.
That is, the picture on it appears to roll endlessly, not unlike a
TV with a bad vertical hold setting.

If I boot without the cg3 card, the bwtwo works as the monitor.  Everything
is swell, except that X11 is of course in monochrome.

How the heck do I get both the bwtwo and cg3 to actually work?  I'd like
more screen real estate when using X11.
