Hello, Alan.
The VGA port on my Talos II T2P9S01 doesn't work in OpenBSD because
my dmesg says, "astfb0... can't map framebuffer". My device tree
(eeprom -p) has a bogus framebuffer address.
If you try an AMD graphics card, beware that OpenBSD/powerpc64 is
missing the amdgpu(4) driver for newer cards. It has the radeondrm(4)
driver for older cards. I don't have AMD graphics in my Talos, am
waiting for prices on graphics cards to go down.
