Aaaand, with the kernel I've just uploaded -- and some luck

may even get proper colors.  (Or a hang, but let's hope not

Anyway, great work.

It works perfectly now!, with nice green letters on black
background
(just like the capture you posted).

Many thanks for this work! having full wscons support on
mac68k is great 

About the X server, the current implementation mmaps
/dev/grfX, does a
GRFIOCGMODE ioctl to retrieve a 'struct grinfo' and uses the
address
for the X framebuffer.
I guess that the best option now would be to run 'wsfb' to
use the new
wscons support.
