No, it should work with all SBus cgsix, jdc recently added support for 
cgsix at obio as well. The other supported SBus framebuffer is pnozz 
which works with the Weitek P9100 found in SPARCbooks.

Several people volunteered to write wscons drivers for other 
framebuffers but so far no code made it back to us - I already wrote 
drivers for all SBus graphics hardware I have access to.

have fun
Michael
