As it has been reported earlier, the Quadra 610 (and similary machines) do
not configure the intvid (and consequently grf) device with current
sources.
If you have access to build a kernel yourself from current sources, you
can apply the following imterim patch to enable the recognition of
intvid0/grf0 needed to run dt or X:
diff -c -r1.1.1.2 machdep.c
*** machdep.c 1997/01/09 15:45:06 1.1.1.2
--- machdep.c 1997/01/14 22:11:58

}; /* End of intvid_info[] initialization. */
This patch applies to Quadra 610's with 1MB of VRAM (the 1024*1024 part).
I have not yet tried X (only dt), but I expect it to work.
