OFW in Krups is special in many ways to put it mildly, so I wouldn't
be surprised if it's framebuffer node has its quirks.

Also, a proper X driver for IGS cards would be nice anyway, as the
~same card is used in Netwinder and Shark.

BTW, Kdrive server (that we don't build under NetBSD) already has a
driver for IGS CyberPro 5k series - Xserver/hw/kdrive/igs (Netwinder
and Shark have 2010, Krups has 1682).
