I'm using NetBSD 1.5 on a Dell OptiPlex GX110, with i810 
video-on-motherboard. I'm using XFree86 4.0.2 with a package I got from this 
list(agppart.o?). Recently, when i "startx", my screen "flashes" once a 
while(it's like a lightening from inside my screen, with a sound,seems the 
hardware is not funcationing well), then i return to text mode, but this 
morning i found the same problem under text mode, i'm scared to death and 
switched to linux &window nt(multiboot system), but all my stuff is really 
on NetBSD, what should i do?

for the screen, i configured the frequency--vertical and horizontal 
correctly, i believe.

save my life...

p.s. DMESG output:
