The sunffb driver in -current differs from stock XFree86 in these 
points:
- - it doesn't support 8 and 24bit visuals simultaneously
- - it uses XAA instead of accelerating everything by hand which gives 
you XRENDER support
- - it supports hardware-accelerated alpha-blending which helps a lot 
with anti-aliased fonts

In theory you can just take the driver sources and Imakefiles from 
NetBSD -current, I made sure the native build system still works, at 
least on NetBSD.

have fun
Michael
