I'm actually tempted to give it an attempt as uninitatied as I am with doing kernel drivers, nevermind never having used NetBSD. Has anyone looked into this on either the Free- or Net BSD side? Can FreeBSD convince Digital to get the full specs on these TGA cards? They are VERY nice cards and would make would X server proud.
