From: techs@pioneer.unm.edu (Erik Fichtner) Subject: X11 Unsupported Video Cards... Suggestion... Date: 1 Jul 1992 20:35:58 GMT
Just had a thought.... Since the X386 guy isn't up for releasing new video
board drivers, and it seems like Trident people will never see X11 since they
don't have the space...
Could someone release linkable objects for X11 and source code to a skeleton
for the X386 video driver so those people who want X11 but have a strange
video card can just download a big X.o file and write their own video driver,
link it and awaaaaay!
This would help all those people who've volunteered to write a trident driver.
This would help all those people who've volunteered to write HiColor drivers.
This would help people with other video boards and little disk space to use X.
I've got X running on my big 386 with an ET4000, but i'd also like it on the
little 386 with a very strange tiwanese card that X doesn't want to have any
part of.
Pardon me if this idea isn't as sane as I think it is.
