! AFAIK the SPX graphics was not supported, only the mono and GPX
! framebuffers.
So there is some chance of NetBSD/Xwindows running on my b&w 3100m38?

There
where at some time two people working on a Xserver for the mono
framebuffer of the VS3100 line. AFAIK this work was merged into
NetBSD-current. At least someone on port-vax(a)netbsd.org should be able
to support you the needed files...

The last I heard, NetBSD didn't support any sort of graphics console.
Not even as a text only console...

It's THE sore point of the netbsd/vax port and as long as nothing moves
there, vaxen go to the dump! So do the mipsen by dec.

What are you saying about the mipsen? PMAX graphics are well supported by
NetBSD including graphics console and X. This has been true for years!
TC option cards are not so well supported but at least the PMAGB and
PMAGB-B are supported (no accell yet on PMAGB-B AFAIK) and there is
experimental support for the PixelStamp based cards.

Netbsd sure, xwindows absolutely not, unless Ragge finished his port.
