Summary

Currently the type isn't set in the fbtype struct so any userland
program that call the FBIOGTYPE ioctl will think it's a FBTYPE_SUN1BW
which is far from the truth.
No app that I found find checks the type but at least now it's correct.

I'd guess the same issue is with VBE.

sys/sys/fbio.h
94–96	it can also be UGA (at least, on paper;)

vt_vga.c, vbefb.c should get similar treatment

sys/sys/fbio.h
94–96	Yeah on paper ;) Good luck finding a UGA compatible firmware nowadays.

Yeah it's the same for all generic vt drivers.
