I am using a dos program to initialize the S3 card. After powering up the machine, i boot dos, and run some DOS program that takes the card to the graphics mode i want (windows or diagnostics ...). Then i boot NetBSD and everything works fine. There has been lots og discussion about initializing S3 cards going on in the developements group, so it seems to be a problem (using V86 modes an on board bioses etc.). Booting trough dos works fine for me. I am using a Diamond STEALTH 24 board and Amancios XS3 Xserver. Leif Granholm Tekla Oy FInland
