I contributed sources that will be included with Xfree86 2.0
for supporting oak 67/77 chipsets. Until that is public you can get
my latest version of the server (and sources) via anonymous ftp.
Compressed binaries of the oak driver for linux on the machine
ns.encore.com and the files are in the directory /pub/development/languages/C
and should be obvious. The sources and a readme history are there also.
Four people, that I know of, have gotten copies of it. One user is reporting
problems which I haven't looked into yet. The others haven't reported problems
other than one report of not being able to get a properly sized/positioned
color 800x600 screen. I've been using it pretty extensively and haven't
had any problems. I'm interested in other users reports.
One of the problems that the first user reported is that the server doesn't
get the clocks correctly. I've noticed that startup can be touchy and if
there is some other activity on the machine that the clocks come out wrong.
I've avoided this by adding a clocks line to my Xconfig. The clocks you can
expect for an OTI-67/77 are:
25 28 65 45 14 18 40 36
