Get the SRM firmware floppy update to switch from alphabios to SRM
console from: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/
You can definetly run XFree86-4.2.1 src from my site on this box. see:
http://www.caseydoodle.com/netbsd5.png .I like Nvidia TNT2 or GeForce4
cards on this box.I have tested it with ati- radeon(7000VE) and matrox
G200& G450 cards.The matrox MII and Mystique cards are not supported
here.
TGA cards are poorly supported in XFree86. The as250 may be supported by
my XFree86 src, i have never tested it.If dmesg says it is a <BWX>
alpha it should work. Read my README_...for install instructions.
