I have been running SLS 0.98.pl1-40 on my Farenheit 1280 card using the
MONO server and would now like to try the Alpha S3 server from
ftp.robots.ox.ac.uk. I downloaded the source and binaries last night and
installed it on my machine. When I ran "startx", I got just a blue background
with no cursor or anything. The mouse did not respond. When I tried to
rebuild the server with the source, mit/server/dix/cursor.c failed because it
sourced in /mit/server/include/dixfont.h, which sourced in a non-existent
<font.h>. Would a knowledgeable person out there inform me as to why:
- the binary for the Alpha server failed to work in the first place and
- where I can find font.h and possibly other missing include files in order
to successfully rebuild the server. (By the way, I did find a copy of
font.h and other include files in the directory /mit/server/include/old.
I tried to compile with these but this generated in many many more
errors. I suspected that this is not the correct files.)
FYI, I am running on a 486-33 with a local bus Farenheit-1280 (dont know
if that makes a difference. The MONO server seemed to work).
