OK all you out there in netland, I have a couple of real simple questions
that I cannot find the answer to in the available documentation.

1. What kind of color frame buffer is included in the standard Sparc IPC?

2. How can I tell which frame buffer /dev/fb is attached to?  (I tried the
   eeprom interpreter, but none of the values it was willing to print out for
   me indicated which frame buffer was the default).  [P.S. my IPC has *two*
   frame buffer at least, one of them is a bwtwo]
