The SCO X11R4 server supplied with ODT 2.0 (which is not unlike the
X11R4 server shipped with Update G for ODT 1.1) utilizes a dynamic
loading technique whereby, to support a particular video board or
class of video boards, we load a file in the directory
"/usr/lib/X11/dyddx/..." into the memory space of the server then
execute its contents.  These files contain the actual rendering routines
for a particular class of cards, so all SVGA video card servers use the
executable code in /usr/lib/X11/dyddx/mw/XDriver.o.

To support new (and old) video cards "all" we need to do is supply an
XDriver.o file and a grafinfo file.  Microfield has such an arrangement
available for the T8.  Give them a call for details on this and other
X server support at +1 503 626 9393.

Hi,

	We have a Novell network with ~20 PCs on it. We will
be getting several PCs running some kind of PC UNIX.
What are peoples opinions and experiences with connecting
the two?

	- Use the Novell server to export a drive via NFS to UNIX PCs?

	- Use a seperate UNIX network and use a gateway to connect?

	- Lose the Novel server and use a UNIX box to serve PCs and UNIX?

Thanks,

rob

I have X386 V. 1.1 under linux 0.96c PL 0 working fine.  It requires
my booting dos, running vmode, and returning to the dos prompt.  I
then have to run linux (without powering down the system!!!) in 
80x60 text mode in order to keep the clocks I need to run in the
resolution I want.  So, it does work.

However, I have heard that Patch Level 2 introduces a bunch of VESA
stuff that may make this workaround less viable (I am hesitating to
upgrade and find out).  I hope X V. 1.2E doesn't leave us all 
completely out in the cold.

Jean.

Stop using ranlib.  Using a System V based ar avoids the need for ranlib.
Unless you are specifically passing command line options to the compiler
to ask for x.out format the SCO Unix cc compiler will give you COFF.

This machine has been on continuously since September, 1987.  The main
harddisk, a 71MB of some unknown lineage, has never been replaced, despite
rattles that have persisted all this time.  The other disk was bought in
June of 1989 and also goes in circles just fine.

I =do= want a new machine.  A 16MHz 386DX isn't anything worth bragging
about any longer.  But it's hard to argue with a machine that just doesn't
give me any trouble.

Boy, way back when you were in the middle of a flamefest over the 
percieved benefit you would get by keeping all of the systems submitted
for the Bake-Off, you got up on your almighty horse and said that you
were doing this for the benefit of the net and that no vendor had to
submit a system.

Now we see that a good Dell system has gotten your mouth watering and 
you can't accept the fact that they have decided they don't want to 
contribute to the Help Eric S. Raymond Get A Computer Fest. 

I, for one, think that Dell is being smart.  If I had a system I would
not submit it to this Bake-Off because it is what everyone thought it 
would be - a way for you to get your hands on new equipment without 
having to pay for it.  

No, I don't mean to start up another flame fest, and Yes, I think the
FAQ about hardware does have some good information in it.  I just think
there is too much personal gain in this Bake-Off and there is too much
personal bias shown by what information has been included and not included
in both.

I'm having some problems getting my X386 server to come up
properly. This is X11R5. I got the x386.modeDB the X386 faq
mentioned, and used the VESA standard setting for 65, which 
matches the highest clock speed displayed when the X386 server
starts. This got it to work much better than anything else
I had tried. I now see a few problems. This is X11R5 built and
running on ISC 2.2.1

	1.) Not all of the physical screen is used in the 
	    horizontal direction, although about 85 % is used.
	    The display goes all the way to the right edge
	    of the monitor, but there is a fair amount of space
	    unused on the left edge. Could this be just a centering
	    problem ? If so, is this something I can adjust through
	    the server ?

	    I have X11R3 and Motif running currently. These are
	    the ones I got from ISC with the system. I don't see
	    this problem with that.

	2.) Some of the characters in my xterm get the right
	    edge cut off. If I iconize the window and then expand
	    it they seem to be ok. But when I type new characters
	    most have the right edge cut off.

	3.) When I ran xlock, the fractal pattern was in black
	    and white.

I'm running twm to test. The panning in the server does work. I
have the Virtual set to 1152 900.

My video card is an Orchid ProDesigner II 1MB
My monitor is a Mitsubishi Diamond scan (HL6935TK/ATK

  Try relocating the monitor and/or degausing. Trying locally doesn't
help too much, because changing the location to your computer room may
cause new problems (and something which looks bad in the store may work
at home).

If someone will put me in contact with Diamond's technical support (e.g.
phone number), I will try get the appropriate information from them to
get things working.  If I can get this info, and someone is willing to
test it out for me, we will release a patch to X386 1.2E 1.0 to get this
working, since I expect a lot of people are going to start running into
this problem.

Actually, Dell does include all the PD/freely-available source on the
Issue 2.2 tape (towards the end).  Previously it was available via
anonymous ftp, anonymous uucp, and by request from Dell...  However,
FSF ask if we would start including it with the shipped system, and so
we do now.  [Previously this would have cost us an extra tape that we would
have had to charge for... since not all customers wanted the source or the
extra charge, it seemed best to give a free tape just to those who ask]

At any rate... it's in there.  Next!

 I have a non-IBM CD-ROM drive but have been unable to get it working on
 RS-6000.  Apparently the method to configure checks for an IBM drive
 (Toshiba) and if it isn't IBM's the method gives error message and exits.

 The developers are working on eliminating this restriction as they have 
 done with tape drives but as yet I haven't seen anything on how to get 
 around this.  

 I've tried changing the ODM data to match what my drive (Panasonic 600e)
 returns on query, so now the drive define's properly but still won't
 configure.

 If anyone has/knows how to get non-IBM drive to work let me know.  Maybe
 I can use my CD-ROM before IBM provides the change....


 Take Care!

  Does this break the VPIX 1.2 that partially worked on 4.0.3a?

  Wasn't there some big argument on the net (2 years ago) about SunOS 
swapping a process's pages out if it happened to get larger than half 
the real memory size...users called this a bug and Sun called it a feature.

  I've got 4.0.3a and am also waiting for more net feedback before mushing 
ahead.
