- Hello,
-
- I am interested in getting an X11R5 up and running on my 386/387 system.
-
- Any advice is sought, regarding:
-
- 1. Whose unix do I use.
- 2. How did you get your X11R5 up (compiling from sources, downloading
- binaries, etc).
- 3. Can I get an X server for an ET4000, preferably in 800x600x32K mode,
- or for a more recent board (perhaps one that will do 800x600x2^24).
- I want to stick to 800x600 so I don't have to upgrade my monitor,
- or my eyes, but I want more than 8 bit planes.
- 4. I want to use SCSI drives, what controller will give me least problems
- under (1).
-
- Preferably I want to use XView.
-
- Del.
