Hmmm.... tried it on two SGI systems so far and it doesn't work.
#1 indy running Irix 5.1.1.3 - fires up a doom window but stops in
a few seconds. The release notes mention Irix 5.2 are a
requirement, and I believe them now ;-)
#2 onyx running Irix 5.2, but no sound hardware. some init
messages are displayed, but no doom window is created, and
there is an error about X_CreateWindow or something like that.
Any ideas how to get it to work on our onyx?
Thanks.
