Re: intel q35 on-board graphics card

I will get that dmesg together.  Discovered that it just doesn't want to
work on amd64 platform.  I booted with an i386 cdrom and the card was
discovered.  Bummer thing is that I won't be able to take advantage of my
Quad core with 8GB ram.  That said, OpenBSD offers everything I want and
need in security and features so I'll sacrifice the extra processing power.
OpenBSD is so efficient anyways, I won't miss much.
