You can run XFree86 with wsfb in -current. Works fine on mine but 
crashes for unknown reasons on at least one other so just give it a try 
and see for yourself.
Don't expect too much though, the driver is mostly unaccellerated, it's 
treated like a dumb framebuffer with a hardware cursor. There's no 
support for more than 8 bit colour either ( that could easily be added 
but it won't be fast )
The main problem is accessing the blitter registers, according to IGS 
they're at a fixed address in PCI IO space but in the Krups there's 
nothing at the specified address.

have fun
Michael
