use genfb on amd64 with X11?
Any pointers on trying genfb with pkgsrc modular X.org?
I assume pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-wsfb will work with it.
I am using 5,0_RC3 but dmesg and config -x /netbsd doesn't show genfb and
wsdisplay is only on vga.
Also I don't see any genfb module. I can build a new RC4 kernel, but
before I do ... and hints if this xf86-video-wsfb will even work with
wsdisplay on genfb?
I am asking since I notice it is not in default amd64 kernel.
(I have used wsfb a lot before but on different system using vesafb from
NetBSD a couple years ago.)

p.s. my main problem is that X on my new laptop with Mobile Intel GM45
Express Chipset crashes several times per week. It is quite frustrating
(and must be rebooted because X can't restart when it happens). Even used
vesa instead but that crashes too. Also newer xf86-video-intel driver
doesn't start. And mouse is often missing or shows some lines instead of a
pointer. I reported some problems to Intel via freedesktop.org bug
tracker. I am hoping using generic framebuffer may help.
