Anybody using an Adafruit PiTFT display?

[Alan Corey]

Adafruit doesn't support anything but Raspbian officially, but one guy
there is a NetBSD user. I'm not really qualified but I bought the
display and I'm starting to look into making it work under FreeBSD,
but only because OpenBSD doesn't  support the Pi and I don't like
Linux. I've been using OpenBSD about 14 years, once in a while
FreeBSD.

It uses a framebuffer which I'm not totally familiar with, and console
output and X output can appear on its screen.  It's a 2.8 inch TFT LCD
with LED backlight and touchscreen, plugs into the GPIO connector.
It's supported partly by Adafruit's patches to the Linux kernel,
connects mostly to the SPI interface and a couple GPIO pins, sells for
about $40.

If I do a dmesg to a file, then shut down, plug in the board, boot
back up and do a dmesg to another file and compare the files it looks
like nothing on the board is recognized.  New hobby.

Anyone done anything with one?
