Sorry to flag a dead horse, but is X on ultra5 possible?

I have an ATI Rage Pro chipset on board which is "not configured" in
the generic 2.0 kernel.

I saw some patches for X to get this working, but doesn't there have
to be a positive kernel message first?

I never really understood what to do with the "not configured"
messages in netbsd. I've heard of "drivers" but have no idea how to
find/apply them.

Or can you carry on using a device if it's not configured? Do the
patches work for 2.0?

I heard openbsd X works fine so I may try that, although I'd prefer to
stick with netBSD.

Thanks for any help,

Amadeus
