Heh, it seems various people are working on the card...

bebox/pci/pfb.c uses rcons(9), which is deprecated.
You should use rasops(9) instead like arch/dreamcast/dev/pvr.c etc.

I guess you should refer hardware manual rather than asking here...
(BTW, what do you mean "the Text mode on Graphics" ?)

If the card support the standard VGA features, you can use vga(4)
driver in text mode. Maybe you have to put the card into text mode
in MD consinit(). See sys/arch/arc/arc/c_nec_eisa.c:c_nec_eisa_cons_init()
and sys/dev/ic/vga_subr.c:vga_reset().

It's hard to comment without code..
(device isn't mapped on KVA correctly? cn_tab isn't initialized?)
