[SunHELP] NetBSD and graphics

I have been considering giving NetBSD a shot once again, I was looking on
the web site and it says that it supports the SX but it doesn't say if it
will do 24 bit. It does state cgthree emulation which may be taken that it
doesn't do 24 bit, but I have an old Parallax card that also emulates a
cgthree and it does 24 bit(really...REALLY slow). Anybody know if it does 24
bit or not?

It also says that it supports all the various GXs, but can it take advantage
of the extra memory on a TGX+ like Solaris does(double-buffering)?

TIA
Chad
