 	So, really all NetBSD ports should be building a wsfb
 	driver, even when accelerated drivers are available for
 	all supported hardware it can be a useful fallback for
 	testing...

 	Currently that appears to involve building in the XFree86
 	servers, including netbsdPci.c, to get modules/drivers/wsfb_drv.so?

 	Is that the way forward for other prts, or are we back to building
 	port specific servers which happen to support wscons?
