Hmm I wonder how I have been starting it so far when trying to use grf0,
because Multiscan, DBLPAL and DBLNTSC all display fine on my monitor but I
didn't succeed to get any sort of picture. I'll have a go with 704x480 and
such and see what happens...

I know _where_ the source is, I even bothered to burn it onto my
brand new homecooked NetBSD 1.3.3 CD, I just don't think I would be able
to make any sensible changes to that load of...100MB source? :-)

Would probably take several days to compile on my 25MHz 68040 too,
although that's not really a problem.

Off topic: where are all the pkg sources? I burnt whatever I could find
onto my CD but ended up only having the build-tree consisting of makefiles
and patches only. Are there in fact no sources for the actual packages
at netbsd.org/mirror?
