I used to be able to run X-11 on my TT030 with 8MB RAM, but, with recent
versions of the X server and related software I have not been able to use
it. I followed all of the directions as before in the FAQ on installing X,
but, I keep getting the following errors:
[/root]# startx
XFree86 Version 3.3.3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)
Release Date: January 4 1999
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: NetBSD 1.4 The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.
Configured drivers:

Fatal server error:
Unsupported bitmap depth 4
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

I have even binpatched the kernel to provide for the extra memory required
by the video buffers and still "Unsupported bitmap depth 4". What gives?
Have you experienced this same problem before when installing X? TT medium
IS a bitmap depth of 4-bits or 16 colors. I even went back to using the
supplied V1.4 BOOTX kernel (after binpatching) and still zippo. 8^(
