I'm about to install NetBSD 0.9 on my system (486/33 DX) at home.  It
has a GHostS3 video card (prop.local bus card with GHost motherboard).

I have read about problems with XS3 and NetBSD (but no specifics).
I have read about problems with XFree86 and NetBSD (but no specifics).

All I want to know is: Will I be able to get X running on my S3 card
with NetBSD 0.9?  [If so, with what packages/versions?]

Thanks.
