NetBSD does have MTRR support, but I believe it is not enabled in the

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:
