No, wsfb is the only driver known to work and it can't probe for
anything so -configure doesn't do anything with it. It also depends
on you using igsfb ( or any other framebuffer driver but for now
there's only igsfb ) as console.
I've got a couple patches in my source tree that allow for 16bit
colour and some acceleration in X but my shark's dead so I can't
guarantee they're still working. If someone would send me a Rev. 4 or
older Shark I'd also make chipsfb ( and probably XFree's chips
driver ) work - shouldn't be hard, just add the same kind of
attachment code as I did for igsfb and fixup chipsfb to work on non-
PCI buses.
have fun
Michael
