- I'm very interrested by the development stuff for domino/retina as I'm
- trying to port X11 for this card. (It has an ncr vga processor)
- In my opinion, merlin/domino cards uses a vga processor too (I think
- that the domino uses a cirrus-logic vga processor)
-
- If I'm able to finish the port of X11 for the retina, I'll be very interrested
- to cotinu the port for other video-cards. But as I already own a retina,
- I only be able to port X11 uder other cards only if someone can lend me one.
-
- If you want to port X11 yourself, you'll need X11src (73 Mb) which we'll
- probably soon release (we must clean sources before)
-
- then You'll have to reserve 250Mb to copile all binaries
- (the total dirstrib takes about 150 Mb of disk space (binaries,libs,includes,mans)
- Of course a text terminal is strongly recommanded to allow server debugging
- (server may crash you display).
-
- But you may want to wait until shared libs are available which could
- reduce distrib disk space.
