If your first framebuffer is not recognized by the system, NetBSD 1.1
should cope with the cgtwo just fine. If the on-cpu framebuffer _is_
recognized by the system, then under 1.1 (stock), you're likely to get a
"multiple /dev/fb" panic. I recently pulled changes from -current into
1.1 for patch2 which fix this problem.
So, to re-cap: if your on-cpu framebuffer isn't currently recognized, the
cgtwo should be OK.
