   Couldn't we attach the vga driver here instead of ofb ?
   Hum, there may be issues with the way the adapter is initialised.
   Anyway, the righ place for this is in the driver, not the emulation layer.
   It's possible that a chip-specific driver is needed instead of ofb to do
   this.


what exactly are you wanting to do here?  we're going to need card-specific
drivers for getting DRM/DRI working with XFree86 (they already exist in the
XFree86 4.x tree - we don't have to write them, only port them.)

but these drivers are separate to the netbsd 'vga @' or 'ofb @' etc.. they
load and use the xf pciscan methods to find the relevant cards, from memory.
