Well sad state.
I am currently evaluating the performance of sunffb, fbdev and the
mach64 driver on NetBSD.
But because the mach64 GPU is so old and doesn't accelerate modern
effects, i am unsure if there is a noticeable speed difference between
the three for a modern desktop.
I am grateful for now to get a picture with fbdev on debian and can
bring up the desktop on this old Sun Blade 100.
