Re: Building wsfb X server for pmax

[David Brownlee <abs%absd.org@localhost>]

I had issues building X with xorg-server 1.20, but adjusting
bsd.own.mk to use 1.10 the same as vax everything built fine (will
come back to that).

Of course cfb.c didn't implement WSDISPLAYIO_GET_FBINFO, but after
cargo-culting that from another driver, X started up fine :)

Would it make sense to have a check through other rasops_info using
drivers and check if they have a case for WSDISPLAYIO_GET_FBINFO? - I
notice that quite a few others don't...
