I'm running a DECpc 433dxLP, which is a 33mhz 486, 16mb ram, using NetBSD 0.9, and XFree86 1.3. The X system works well in monochrome, and I'd like to install a color version. The SVGA driver provided fails saying No configured graphics devices, and makes no attempt to enter a graphic mode. I located XS3.NetBSD on sunvis.rtpnc.epa.gov, which is a NetBSD pure executable, apparently an S3 version of ~/X386/X. ln'king X to this file causes a message "no server "X" in PATH, and suggests that I use XF86_Mono or XF86_SVGA. (The DEC video pages claim its an S3 chipset) So, what am I doing wrong? Has anyone else gotten the color version working on this PC? Any suggestions? Thanks, wheeler@pipedream.mgh.harvard.edu
