It's not really "internal color support" but you can run X in color on
the internal video by:
1) read:
ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/X/README.Xmac68k_OSFA
and install:
ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/X/Xmac68k_OSFA.tar.gz
(Note that this is installable with the Installer utility),
2) boot NetBSD in 16-bit color mode, and
3) startx.
Color is supported by this server only in 16-bit mode. In 4 and 8-bit
mode, you should boot NetBSD in gray mode instead of color. X will
run in gray scale mode. You can boot NetBSD in 4 or 8-bit color mode,
but X will not display colors properly. This restriction will be
lifted when Michael Zucca's intvid is completed (OSFA server will have
to be obsoleted then).
