I've never found m64config settings to survive reboots, so I don't
think it can help with NetBSD.
Also the 'fbconfig -gui' man page refers to a 'SUNWdcm' package:
In addition, the GUI allows advanced users to create a
new video format (resolution) that some graphics devices
can select from fbconfig command line or from the
device-dependent portion of the GUI. The GUI's online
help explains all options and features.
Which sounds like it would help you with non-Sun monitors sorta like
modelines in XFree86, except without the suckage of having the kernel
debugger be useless. On some obscure web ``forum,'' a Sun employee
admitted The SUNWdcm package is vapourware as of Solaris 10.
