Hi everyone

I followed the instructions for installing OSFA server (again), I am using 
the gereric NetBSD kernel. I decided after reading the instructions that 
the following command is how you start X windows: (once you have also 
worked out that the booter needs to have its video changed from B&W to 
thousands of colours :-) ):

	startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/Xmac68k -dev /dev/grf0

When I use this command, I get the following error:

	xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "/dev/grf0,4" in 
PATH
	Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/X11R6 is in your path and
	that "/dev/grf0,4" is a program of a link to the right type of server
	for your display. Possible server names include:


	xinit: Server error.

or I get this error: (More often)

	_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2

then it gives up. Any ideas?

Any help?

Cheers, Paul.

To run the OSFA server in color on the internal video, all you have to
do is change the screen color depth to 16 bits (thousands of colors)
before booting into NetBSD.  Unfortunately, the OSFA server cannot
make use of internal color video except in 16-bit mode.

Probably you can do it by running xdm automatically at the boot time,
but exactly how, I don't know.
