It has a GHostS3 video card (prop.local bus card with GHost motherboard). I have read about problems with XS3 and NetBSD (but no specifics). I have read about problems with XFree86 and NetBSD (but no specifics). All I want to know is: Will I be able to get X running on my S3 card with NetBSD 0.9? [If so, with what packages/versions?] Thanks. -- Bryan D.
