I'm one of the people who make Xorg work on NetBSD, my work areas are libpciaccess, support for various non-x86 platforms ( sparc, sparc64, SGI, Power Macs etc. ) and support for more or less exotic graphics hardware.

Michael has written a DDX for the SGI O2's graphics system which supports acceleration via XAA. He's also written fixes and acceleration patches for older Sun framebuffers like ffb and cg6. These drivers are totally unmaintained as is, so if he wants to maintain them, I can't see any reason not to let him!

He's got my ack.
Comment 3 Michael Lorenz 2010-12-01 17:50:54 UTC 
Right now I'm maintaining patches for sunffb, suncg6, suntcx and a handful new drivers in NetBSD's cvs repository. Having them over here would make updating Xorg a lot less annoying and besides that, one or two people might want to run them on other OSes than NetBSD.
