Well, I managed to install the full NetBSD 9.2 on a standard Quadra 800
with 136MB of ram with no issues. Fairly simple install. However I am
having trouble with X11. From what I read from the installer it should be
as simple as entering in startx and I should be greeted to a glorious B/W
X11 instance. However I am receiving errors like xauth: file
/useraccount/.serverauth.714 does not exist, and at the very end it is
unable to connect to xserver and connection refused. I have read that only
the client is installed but not the xserver. another site said you can
install a color server but the links for installing that are extremely old
and broken, but I see videos where a LC III has color X11. but they never
said how they did it. Is there any updated information how to get X11
running on this old beast? Thanks!
