As for vt(4), it at least needs to be taught about the differences between virtual, physical and bus address with a clue bat. Among other problems, similar things hold for the #ifdef'ed sparc64 code of ofwfb(4) in combination with the accesses it does. I guess it only had a chance of working on your machine because its firmware is kind enough to map the framebuffer in (which not all machine models do) in the first place _and_ in a special way/location so accesses didn't blow. Anyway, even when going the ofwfb(4) route, doing reads and writes via bus_space(9) will be noticeably faster than going through the MMU on sparc64. Marius
