Yah ... I'm told (though, I can't verify) that it works on all of the
sbus framebuffers currently supported. Paul recently integrated a patch
I sent him that makes blanking work on the 4/200-series built-in bwtwo.
I would assume that the cgtwo has it's own "video enable" bit/register.
The built-in bwtwo uses a bit in the system enable register, but that
makes sense because it's built-in video.
Is the Xserver capable of blanking the screen?
