I haven't tried a generic kernel lately, but last time I did, the internal
video didn't work. You might try one of my kernels, at
http://www.realtime.net/~khym/netbsd/

It's what I use on my 660av, and I've heard it works on 840avs too.

You need to "cd /dev" before doing the MAKEDEV command... although "grf0"
not showing up in dmesg means that the kernel didn't find the internal
video, not that you don't have the device created for it...

If you use my kernel, I've also provided a ps and libkvm that'll work...

You'll have to do that from the MacOS side... use the Monitors control
panel or something... it'll still use your entire monitor though, the
pixels'll just be bigger :) If you mean that you only want X to use the
upper left corner of your monitor or something, I don't know of any way to
do that...

Well hope this helps! :)
