All,
I'm having trouble installing 1.3.3 on my A3000 with a Picasso IV video
card. NetBSD 1.1 was working fine but it didn't even pretend to support
the Picasso IV card. Now I have installed 1.3.3 which supports the
Picasso IV to find that the display is whacked out. The console display
is kind of doubled over on itself. I believe that it is putting out a
signal my monitor is unable to display, something down in the 30's
range. My monitor is an older NEC 5FG which cannot sync so low. Is
there a way to change the default console display parameters without
recompiling the kernel or anything quite so involved. Since I can't
access the console too well I can't manage anything very complicated
other than a simple command line, simple responses to a program or maybe
vi.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
