- Unfortunately, the pre-release driver software does not include much
- in the way of sources. It includes the long-promised 32-bit graphics
- engine, 32-bit XGA drivers, 32-bit Tseng 256 color drivers for 1024x768,
- 800x600, and 640x480, 32-bit drivers for VGA/SVGA, and Toolkit support
- for the 32-bit graphics engine. No source is included, only beta-level
- drivers of the above. You will have to get in touch with IBM and request
- sources, I guess.
