I have tried both. Currently NetBSD appears to be picking the same 
refresh rate as RISC OS 60Hz. I will confirm that by adding in code to 
print out the current mode parameters at boot.

60Hz is well within both the VRAM capabilities, assuming we are really 
operating at 8bpp, and the capabilities of my monitor. Everything 
flashing about unhappily is a very good description of the problem at 
1024x768 although I don't get stretched characters.
