NetBSD does have MTRR support, but I believe it is not enabled in the
GENERIC kernel. Since you say that it is just a perfomance issue, I
may or may not get around to it (this setup is working fast enough for

All four of these statements were required in the end. I also tweaked
the HorizSync and VertRefresh values with some guidance from the
monitor manual. Here is a diff from the configuration file generated
by XFree86 -configure to the one I am using now:
