Hi Bruce,

Well I didn't have any luck with just trying Xmac68_color.bz2.. So I
followed your steps installing all of the 1.6.2 X files... I was able to run
the standard X but as soon as I changed to a color X server I get the
following error:

This is not a fatal error.
Couldn't set video mode to desired depth.
I gather there is no video ROM Driver for this display.
Screen 0 at 0x4254000, 512 by 384, 8 bpp, rowB 1024, fbbase 0xba0000.
X: Undefined PLT symbol "__gedf2" (symnum = 175)
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).^M

I have also tried changing  the boot monitor settings to 256 or thousands of
colors (the max my machine can display  in mac OS) without any luck.
I just wonder if it is a problem because I have to set the machine ID to 92
(for a LC575 with 512 by 384) ie LC575 in a color classic in order to get
NetBSD to boot. 

Any thoughts?
