The grf (graphics) driver used to have a bug which prevented X server
from properly working on SE/30 internal video.  I believe it's fixed
now though I haven't verified by myself.  If I'm right, a recent
kernel (like GENERIC-25) should be OK for you.

If that doesn't work for you, you can get a version of X server which
works around the grf driver bug.  It's available at
ftp://ftp.macbsd.COM/pub/NetBSD/X/colorkit/Xmacbsd.960512.gz and it's
a gzipped NetBSD executable, not a gzipped tar.

This one's covered in INSTALL document for the official 1.2 release.
Basically you should "save prefs" then "quit" to actually save the
prefs.  I tend to believe I've seen someone say this was no longer
true, but it probably doesn't apply to your version of Install
utility.  New versions are available on ftp.netbsd.org (somewhere
under /pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/, I think).

Hmm, I don't think I've seen this before...  Exactly what do you type
when logging in as root?
