I assume you mean a VT terminal. The reason I want to
get the graphic output working is to hack on the X
server code, as I'd love to contribute something to
the NetBSD effort. Agreed it is only mono, but I'm
hoping that it will be a good starting point for me
to learn the intricacies of X server programming. (I'm
also hoping to work on an X server for the Sparc).
