	I finally was able to get X downloaded (was having problems with
sz from my server, and it kept cutting off the transfer halfway through
8-( ) but, come to find out as of the GENERIC-38 kernel the Q630's
internal video isn't supported (or at least I don't get grf0 or intvid0
anywhere at startup) I DO have the devices grf0 and grf1, but when I
startx I still get the "Can't run X with no screens!" error. 

	Is support for the Q630 internal video underway at all, or is
there someone who has written a kernel that it may work with? I've fallen
in love with X windows, so I'm really anxious to get it working again 8-)
Especially once support for internal video color is done! 

	If you need to use me as a guinea pig, that's fine with me... I
have some experience with Macsbug and I know a LITTLE assembly.... at
least enough to make me hazardous to my own health ;-)

	Also... I don't know if this sounds like anything anyone would be
interested in or anything, but I have the source for a program that is
basically a "chat" program.... which might be useful as a place to talk
with other NetBSD/mac68k people real-time, rather than via the list or
what have you. I've run it succesfully under Linux, Solaris 2.2,
NetBSD/i386, and NetBSD/mac68k plus it has been run on a few other systems
by other people, so if anyone would want to run it on their machine I can
e-mail you the source and some directions. It was written just as a chat
server, and was made to be tailored to the needs of whoever is running
it.... and it's fairly reliable. 

	If anyone is interested go ahead and e-mail me. 

	Ryan
