I would like to get 32bpp in X on my SPARCbook 3gx.  I've done some
research, but I'm hoping for a push in the right direction.

I understand from http://www.openbsd.org/sparc.html:
"Weitek Power9100
(pnozz<http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?arch=sparc&sektion=4&query=pnozz>)
- found in Tadpole SPARCbook 3GS, 3GX, 3TX and 3XP (8, 16 or 32-bit color,
accelerated)"

I've read from another source that this device has 2MB, though I haven't
actually verified that on my own hardware, and I'm not sure how at this
point.

After configuring xorg to use the wsfb device, X worked.

Unfortunately I'm away from that sparcbook for a couple of days in another
city and could not bring it, so i don't have every detail to support what
I'm about to ask.  I should be able to provide enough:

wsconsctl tells me it is at 8bpp.  (don't have the specific output with me),
and that this is a *read only* atrribute(if that is the right word)

How do I need to go about telling wscons to configure pnozz to be 32bpp?

thanks,

Justin
