Thanx! I have BSDI BSD/386 on a PC at home, and they use the SGCS X server. I recall several Diamond cards as being supported, not yours specifically, but the list was long. Does SGCS offer an X server in the 386BSD a.out format? I know BSDI can run 386BSD executables, but not the other way around. NetBSD can run both, you may have to go that way. -- Jaye Mathisen, COE Systems Manager (406) 994-4780 410 Roberts Hall,Dept. of Computer Science Montana State University,Bozeman MT 59717 osyjm@cs.montana.edu
