- I have succeeded in getting Design Analyser and Quicksim II (both
- version 8.1) running under MIT X11R5 pl 17 on a sparcstation II under
- SunOS 4.1.2 ...
-
- ... but when I start bold_browser, it crashes the Xsun server with a
- segmentation fault in the bitblt routines. I don't know whether it's
- a bug in the R5 sample server, or whether it's an incompatibility in
- bold_browser.
-
- Has anyone succeeded in getting bold_browser to run under MIT X11R5 ?
