I'm also glad to see users who actually use it on NetBSD :-)

I'm afraid binaries built on NetBSD/amiga uses X11R6 binaries/libraries
instead of X11R7 ones (atari port has switched to X11R7).

NetBSD/atari 6.x doesn't ship Xserver binaries, but
1.6.2 Xserver still works on at least my TT030:

The following procedure still works
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-atari/2010/03/18/msg000461.html
(I've also upated some files in the archive for NetBSD 6.1.3)
but I'm not familiar with Atari and Falcon hardware.

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config file have following lines:
---
Section "Screen"
    Driver      "fbdev"
#    Device      "Falcon"
    Device      "TT"
    Monitor     "Color Video Monitor"
---
so maybe you have to enable "Falcon" line instead?

It looks ite console doesn't support (at least) ANSI color
escape sequence. iteconfig(8) man page has some description
about colors, but I don't know the old ite driver..

Wow! 68060 with 526MB seems one of the fastest NetBSD/m68k machine ;-)
