Yes - with Ken's new Xserver, you can run color on internal video.

If you are using internal video, or if you are using non-ROM enabled
nubus video, you MUST set up the booter to NOT change your video
settings, and you MUST use the MacOS Control Panel to set your video
mode BEFORE you boot NetBSD.

If you are using nubus-card video AND you are using either the SLOTMAN
kernel or the color LKM, the server will set the video mode to the
"best" available.

Go to the URL Ken gave in his message and download the Xserver AND the
README file.  Read the README, then read it again before you start.
