No sunffb driver, that's why it fails. Hmm, I guess I didn't enable it 
after all.

Look at the Makefile in src/x11/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ - there's  
bunch of .if ${ARCH} which control what drivers to build.

Indeed. On the other hand, if you can get away without anti-aliased 
fonts it's pretty quick, at least with a Turbo GX, and you can use as
