Please send me your Xconfig and relax because >we fixed this bug for XFree86 and ported XFree86 to 386bsd. Sorry, but I cannot stand this way your talking about this stuff anymore. You always tell people you did EVERYTHING about the XS3 server. This is one of the greatest lies I ever heard ! Your S3 stuff is COMPLETLY based up the 8514/A server Kevin Martin did. The S3 chips are with the exception of ONE registers in the graphics engine IDETICAL to the 8514/A (at least with respect of what the 8514/A server actually uses). Hence all of the drawing code is from somebody else, whome you generally forget to name. Also the setup code putting the S3 into graphics mode is stolen for the X386 1.2 / Xfree server (which then again IS stock X11R5) where this code is for SVGAs. Hence please stop people make believe that you really did everything from scratch. I don't want to put you down, but make it clear for the people how things really took place (and in fact it took me only about ONE day to get a S3 server from a 8514/A server in our commercial stuff; just to bias people a little bit). If you want to do PD stuff, please give credit to the people who deserve it. And that's Kevin Martin, and not really you. - Thomas -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Das Reh springt hoch, e-mail: roell@sgcs.com das Reh springt weit, #include <sys/pizza.h> was soll es tun, es hat ja Zeit ...
