Oooer. The GC has a control panel that you can download from Apple that
enables QuickDraw acceleration (video paints are noticibly faster with it
on). The downside is that you are limited to System 7.0 and 7.1; it doesn't
seem to like higher System versions (either garbled screens or crashing
outright). My IIsi is unbearable without GC acceleration running.

If you don't have the control panel, the GC becomes a regular unaccelerated
24-bit video card. This bodes poorly since the card is not accelerated by
default -- meaning the card may just not be compatible with NetBSD in any
configuration yet.
