Hmmm...it's not _supposed_ to hang ;-)  I would try the newer version 
(i.e. 1.4) which should be on ftp.netbsd.org.  If it is not located 
there, I'd try looking on ftp.macbsd.com.  It should definitely be in 1 
of those 2 places.  Hopefully, this version won't hang and will allow you 
set the geometry.

I hope this helps.

Later.
