I saw that thread recently on the Sparc list, and as I recall it Charles
Carvalho has the CG14 framebuffer up and running. One thing I'm a little
unclear on is how framebuffer support relates to console use. As I said
above, I have had OpenBSD working on a Leo framebuffer without X despite
the OpenBSD site saying that the Leo is unsupported. Does that simply
mean the Open and Net don't support X on the Leo, but that the console
should work by emulating a supported card?
