The machine in question is Dell PRO200 with
24Mb RAM, 1.6Gb EIDE, 9FX Mmotion 771 video w/2Mb VRAM
(chipset is S3-968?, made by Number Nine Vusual Tech.),
Dell Ultrascan 15TX SVGA monitor (Hsync: 31.5-64KHz,
Vertical refresh: 50-120 Hz)
The video card in not in database /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards BUT it
is there in the database on FreeBSD machine (running in the lab).
I copied the FreeBSD Cards file and tried again but no success!
One difference between NetBSD and FreeBSD: NetBSD's driver for PS/2
mice (and perhaps some others?) make it look like a busmouse to
XFree86. The relevant section of the XF86Config file should be
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Busmouse"
Device "/dev/pms0"
(not sure if this applies to your machine or not...)
