- From the FAQ:
- Subject: 72) Where can I get a server for my high-end Sun graphics board?
-
- Takahashi Naoto (Electrotechnical Laboratory, ntakahas@etl.go.jp) has
- modified the MIT X11R5 server to support the Sun CG8, CG9, and CG12 boards.
- The files are on export in contrib/Xsun24-3.[01].tar.Z. Note that both files
- are necessary to build Xsun24-3.1.
-
- The JPL R5 Xsun Multi-screen server is a general purpose replacement
- for the MIT server/ddx/sun layer; it provides for the screen to be split among
- several monitors and implements several other features above the MIT
- implementation. Available on export.lcs.mit.edu in the file
- contrib/R5.Xsun.multi-screen.tar.Z. [Kaleb Keithley, kaleb@thyme.jpl.nasa.gov,
- 12/91; the file was updated 28 Sep 92.]
-
-
- [ I think, the subject's name in the faq is a bit unfavourable,
- so it's hard to find ].
