- How can I get the Andrew distribution for X11R4?
-
- I don't know about problems unique to the Parallax video card, but
- otherwise, about the only incompatibility you'll likely encounter in
- running the X11R5 Andrew binaries (from the CD ROM distribution) under
- X11R4 is that the font format is different (pcf vs snf). Source from
- this latest distribution can be compiled and linked against either X11R5
- or X11R4 libraries. While in theory you could get by in just building
- the .snf fonts, this isn't really feasible because Andrew fonts are
- scattered throughout the build tree. Fortunately, though, Andrew in its
- entirety builds easily from the X11R5 distribution on Sun platforms.
