Don't worry about the CyberGFX - we don't use it under NetBSD :-)

Nag nag. Xcl with the option -mono doesn't make sense. Xcl is a
multithreaded X server and with the option -mono you tell it to open on ECS
only. You'd rather install a nice graphic mode using grfconfig and at
least 8Bit depth and then use the option "-mode x" whereas x is a grfmode.
If you want a b/w-screne on the Picasso, define a 1 bit depth screenmode,
If you limit Xcl using -dev /dev/grf3 you can save some memory by not
using X on ECS simultanously. If you do, try using my tool "toggle" which
you can find on the Gateway! Vol. 2 CD-ROM in
"archive/contrib/amiga/graphic/cirrus1.1.tar.gz" to toggle between Picasso
and ECS. This is fun :-)
Oh, and if you like, you can use "loadppm" to show a picture on the
Picasso - but quit X first...
