Hi,
I've managed to get NetBSD/acorn32 1.6 running on my NC at last. Does anyone
know if it's possible to get X running in 16bpp mode, though?
If I just start X without any preamble, I get 640x480x8bpp. If I use
'setdisplay -x 640 -y 480 -c 16', the machine reboots when I try to start X.
(I had to tweak setdisplay to get it to compile; IIRC, I had to change
vidc->bitsperpixel to vidc->log2_bpp - this seems to work OK when I specify
-c 8 on the command-line, though.)
tia,
Stephen
