The ZLXp-E1 TGA, i.e. the only frame buffer supported by NetBSD/alpha
for X 8-), is largely just a next-generation SFB.
It shouldn't be very hard to get at least cfb (unaccelerated) X
running on it... You really just need to do the mapping of the
device, etc., in the X server, and point the X code at the frame
buffer.
Does anybody know if the current xsrc sources work on the Alpha + TGA?
(I dunno if anything happened because of the wscons code changes.)
