- According to the info I got from Austin (Michael Fail), 220's cannot run
- Xserver under
- 3.2.0 all right (I tried to earlier, and the server was pretty buggy, with
- internal representations of fonts destroyed etc.); everything will be
- hailed after applying the patches making 3.2.1 out of 3.2.0 (especially
- the U402109 patch, concerning 220'ies, and requiring as prerequisite
- deep changes in the X11rte - SIC!) all the 220 specific problems disappeared;
- now I have only the problems that are general for all rs6000's :-)
