Hi,
First of all, another question would be What kernel are you using? I have
a IIcx with the Toby Buffer Frame card. I am using the Taras color kernel
and the color kit for X in color. I can use X without any problems.
With this kernel, you actually want to set the video to 8-bit (256 colors)
*not* 1-bit (b/w). With all other kernels that I know of, you set the
video to b/w before booting into NetBSD.

In MacOS (before booting into NetBSD):

the Monitors control panel opens, you will have the choice setting the
video depth. To set the video to b/w, set the colors choice to 2.
