I know that I have to get XFree86 (probably from > agate), but do I also need the MIT X11R5 distribution? My You need to get mit-1, mit-2 and maybe mit-3 if you are good at building X you may get by without mit-3. Also, you will need patch levels 1 to 16. Finally, the instructions and patches on how to build X11R5 are in the README in agate.berkeley.edu:/pub/incoming/X386 There is also under the same directory in agate a patch kit for the kernel. > question is basically: what source do I need to ftp to build > X11R5 on my 386-40 (TVGA 512K, God I hope that there's a driver > for this card!) could you please look in the card and send me the svga chip name/model. A good chipset that works with Xfree86 is et4000 you can get clones for about $125 now days. Also, the next upcoming release of Xfree86 has support for Trident which are dirt cheap around $85. > >Thanks for the help! > >Paul Dokas >pbd@runyon.cim.cdc.com > >BTW many thanks to Terry Lambert for the patchkit!
