Folks,
I have been scouring docs online as well as man pages, and haven't found any answers: on the default NetBSD 1.5.3 mac68k install, is there a way to configure the onboard framebuffer video on my Quadra 610 to run X at 800x600 or better? There is no xf86config - type script, and I can't find an XF86Config or .xsession or somesuch configuration file. It is currently running 640x480 in 1-bit mode.
The only info I have found talks about using a color Xserver, which it doesn't look like supports my onboard video anyway. I will do some more experimenting as soon as one of my ethernet transceivers from eBay actually *works* and I can get the darn thing on the 'net...
I *think* my machine has 1mb Video ram on the mainboard, but I can't remember if the 30-pinner was 512k or 1mb...
I was thinking it should at least do 800x600 though...
BTW, dumped the 'stock' 250mb Apple HD for Seagate 1gb - whee! SO FAST :)
Thanks,
