I'm using Taras's NuBus color kernel (1.2A GENERIC #7) from
ftp://ctpa01.mit.edu/pub/ivanenko/macbsd and the colorkit X server
from ftp://puma.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/X/colorkit on my IIcx w/ a
RasterOps 24S. This is a 24-bit, non-accelerated color card, and it
works just fine (in 8-bit mode only, though; actually, I'm a surprised
that it works at all :) ). I would guess that this kernel/X server
combination will work with any 8-bit, non-accelerated color NuBus
card, but the only way to know if it works for you is to try it with
your card.
Hope this helps,
John
