Actually, while there is an entry for a Genoa Super VGA card in the
mkdev graphics point and pick list, it's for the 5x00 series (5100,
5200, 5300, and 5400) rather than the 6400.  The 5x00 series used
the Tseng Labs ET3000 chipset, while the 6400 uses a proprietary
Genoa chipset implementation which is not compatible with the ET3000.

I'm not aware of the existance of a 6400 grafinfo file, and since
there's no card nor documentation for that card in-house (that I know
of), I doubt if one is forthcoming in the near future.
