The problem is, I can set resolution to 1600x1200 in openboot, but it doesn't
support refresh rate of 60Hz at this resolution and only works at something
like 75Hz. I use a TFT display and 1600x1200x75 doesn't look very good.
In Solaris I simply use ffbconfig to set 1600x1200x60. I realise there is no
such utility on NetBSD, so maybe there is a way to hack XFree86 to do that?
Or is it possible to program openboot to support 1600x1200x60?
