Why is wsfb attempting to load?

[Super Biscuit]

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-sparc-obpreference.xml  I used this to get the screen to be detected. 
http://slexy.org/view/s21owpFeew is an update of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Now drm can't be built on sparc64 because it keeps asking for special register.h which doesn't exist. How do I go about preventing the modules from being loaded? That is the record, dri, drm and those of that sort?

It's the /var/log/Xorg.0.log output.
What is it with PCI ? I get the same problem on my Powermac G4.
Since OpenBoot and OpenFirmware are the basically the same, is there a way of detecting the PCI device as main without frying it with scan pci value of 0 or 1 on the forth prompt?

I'm seeing this: http://cvsup9.tw.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/development/FreeBSD-CVS/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-sunffb/ .

Okay, is it alright if I download the source and build it?
If X.org, has a more updated version than what is on FreeBSDS-x11, has it been successfully built on a Sunblade 1000 running FreeBSD?

My guess is that I should also run Xorg --probeonly and tee it into xorg-probe.txt or something, yes?

wsfb is the default fallback hardcoded into Xorg on SPARC systems running
a non-Linux OS when no other video driver can load.   (Linux uses fbdev
instead.)   Your question should be why your actual graphics driver didn't
load so it fell back to wsfb as a last resort before giving up.   Unfortunately
I can't explain that, as it just says in your log that it loaded the sunffb
module but found no devices it could attach to:

(II) SUNFFB: driver for Creator, Creator 3D and Elite 3D
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for sunffb
(EE) No devices detected.

On the other hand, it looks like earlier in your log file it detected an
ATI Rage device (a Sun PGX series fb maybe?), which I'd expect to be the mach64
driver, not sunffb:

(--) PCI: (0:0:1:0) 1002:4752:0000:0000 ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL rev 39, Mem
@ 0x02000000/16777216, 0x0012c000/4096, I/O @ 0x00000500/256, BIOS @
0x????????/65536
