Cool :-)

I'm using a Radius IntelliColor/20 monitor. When booting, SRM 
displays at the 1280*1024, taking up the full screen. Then when 
NetBSD is starting, it switches to what I'm assuming is what Kevin 
described as a "graphical text display", where NetBSD is only taking 
up a small "window" in the center of the screen, prolly 80*35. I'm 
using the snapshot from July, and have downloaded & unpacked all the 
x sets as well.
alpha# setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0
alpha# startx

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
alpha#cd /usr/X11R6/bin
alpha# X

I don't know if the TGA's being in 32 bpp mode is the problem. The 
manual's table showing the switch settings only shows resolution, 
frequency & refresh rate, as well as what DEC monitors those settings 
are valid for.

In reading startx's man, ne example it gives is "startx -- -bpp 16" 
to set the bit depth...however, when trying to set it, I got an error 
that -bpp was an unrecognized option.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
Mike
