Ok, just had some time to kill so I had a look at XFree's ATI driver (  
because I couldn't find any Mach64/Rage3D docs anywhere ) and did some  
hacking.

I added proper colour map support, did some tweaks to make it look more  
like a Sun console ( read: black on white ) and added acceleration for  
copycols, copyrows, erasecols and eraserows. Not too well tested  
though. I'm not sure if it would be worth the trouble to accelerate the  
character drawing stuff as well ( having the font in off-screen video  
memory would be nice but we'd need a fallback in case there's not  
enough video RAM )
Anyway, it's QUITE a difference :)

A test kernel for Ultra 5 and 10 systems is here:
http://macallan.homeunix.org:6704/stuff/BSD/sparc64/ 
netbsd_Ultra10_mach.bz2
The keyboard bug is still present, but as far as I know someone is  
working on it.

have fun
Michael
