Can anybody help me getting XFree86 to work, using NetBSD 1.1 on
an Intel Atlantis motherboard? It's got some kind of Mach32
SVGA thing built-in, apparently, with 1MB of DRAM. I've fiddled
extensively, and I can't get the damn thing to work in anything
more than 320x200.
If I use the Mach[8|32|64] drivers, it stiffs the monitor, and
I can only get the machine back by logging in via a remote
terminal and killing the X server process.
If I use the VGA16 driver, it works, but it's of course a terrible
display because it's only 16 colours and it's very low resolution.
It I use the SVGA driver, it works, but only in 320x200 (or
maybe that was 256). I've defined all the modes correctly, but
it basically ignores my settings completely, and says "using
built-in mode".
Any clues? Here's the start-up messages:

PS. A friend told me that something is lying, it's not a Mach64, it's
a Mach32.
