So, the monitor and keyboard hooked directly to the back of the VAXStation
3100 M38 is not a text only console? What kind of console is it then?
It could either be mono, or 4- or 8-plane graphics IIRC. Designed to run
DECwindows, there have apparently been two ports of X11 to it under
NetBSD - see the thread called "x-server and security.tgz for NetBSD
1.5" at
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-vax/2000/11/ for the rough
info - if you know any more please tell us...
