I meant OBP :)

X will be problematic on 2.0, probably won't run at all. 3.0 will have
XFree86.

Onboard video in 2.0 is unaccelerated, ffb too it seems. I have no idea
where the flickering/shifting comes from - I don't have an ffb card and
the first thing I did with my U10 was to add acceleration and so on for
the onboard framebuffer.

That's the 2MB Rage II. Works fine as (fast) console in -current but has
problems in XFree ( I may have a patch that makes it work but I need
people to test it )

That's an ffb / UPA card. A Creator, Elite or something like that. Since
both are reported as unconfigured NetBSD will use OBP to output
anything which is rather slow.

have fun
