I know. The NetBSD-specific code needs to open more than one device, right now it tries to mmap() everything through a single file descriptor which isn't going to work. There's a workaround ( /dev/xf86 ) somewhere but that's more or less i386-specific and rather ugly. > Either way, there's work to be done in this port's os-support layer.

There's no way for the ati driver to simply ignore adaptors it cannot mmap? have fun Michael
