I have a DECstation 5000/133 sitting on my desk being used as a
X-terminal (21" color monitor).  It is running Ultrix, what a waste. I was
hoping to put NetBSD onto it it and make it a useful machine.
I am quite falmiliar with FreeBSD etc, but have never looked at NetBSD. 
Looking throught the web/ftp sites I can see all of the distributions for
PMAX etc but I see no mention of X11 or at the very least the driver for
X11 for the video adapter etc.

Can anyone please help me.  Have you got it working?
Where can I get the relevant bits to do this?
Is it possible/likely.

Thanks in advance.

Darian...
