Hey!

It seems that the openbsd 4.6 release includes wildcatfb (unaccelerated) and ifb (accelerated) graphics driver for expert3d, xvr-500, xvr600 and xvr1200 sun graphic cards.
is there a chance to port that to linux/gentoo - that would be great!

any ideas?

Hi guys,

has there been any follow up on this? I've messed with OpenBSD and it does indeed work. Would love to get Gentoo going as well....

What gfx-card are you using? What about the performance - I didn't OpenBSD myself.

I'm using the XVR-600 in a Blade1500.

I tried OpenBSD and it worked - although performance was pretty sub-par...
