Previous to now I have run all my alphas (3000/300 boxes) serially.
But, I ran up the twscons kernal and am now using it on the machines.
The INSTALL.txt lists CFB and SFB frame buffers for turbochannel.
The VRC16/keyboard/mouse/cabledongle are all installed and seem to work.
X is installed, and the path calls it up....but.....
Startx errors out:
frame buffer type not supported: no such file or directory.
Fatal server error
no screens found
X connection to: 0.0 broken.....(etc., then abort to shell).
I was thinking we had X support for the turbochannel boxes in
NetBSD-1.5 alpha? (Yes/No?).......
In 10 lines or less,... ,``How does I get there?''
Thanks
