Nice. Which X11 server do you use? XFree86?

I intend to sync our "nv" and "radeon" driver with the X.org sources to
get newer graphics cards supported. But most of NetBSD free time is
tied up by the 3.0 release.

The changes look good. Have you tested for "side effects"? I remember
that enabling agp(4) for the i865PE on my desktop's motherboard caused
the onboard i82547EI network chip to "disappear" until I fixed that.
Kind regards
