I did a quickie adjustment of cg4reg.h to be:

#define CG4REG_CMAP     0x0

#define CG4REG_OVERLAY  0x00C00000
#define CG4REG_ENABLE   0x00000000
#define CG4REG_PIXMAP   0x00400000


And now I do get an X display on the pixmap plane (hooray!).  Thanks for
offsets Gordon! (I config'ed cgfour0 at 0xFE800000)

If course, there is still the problem of not being able to address the DAC,
so the colors are all hosed, but at least this is a start.

This brings me to two more questions....

A) Any idea what AMD DAC is in the "Type A" cg4?  I figure I'll tear open
my machine and take a look around and see if I see anything with AMD on
it....

B) Where would one go about finding info on how to twiddle the AMD DAC?

AMD's website and 'fax back' technical info is only for current products it
looks like.  Any idea what to look for in the library?  Did Sun ever
release
the information to manuals/books publishers?  Is there some standard
series of manuals I should try and dig up for this info?
