[comp.graphics] parallax doesn't yet support X

dove@rocket.UUCP (Webster Dove) (06/01/89)

After seeing the article about video devices under X, I wanted to
mention that I have a parallax 1024x1280 that I got last Dec, and
Parallax has still not given me working X software for it.  They claim
that NEWS works, but I bought it after being told that X was available
only to find vapor.  They tell me it will work in the next release any
time now :)

We have Parallax's version of NeWS on a bunch of machines here for
almost 2 years and it works great. So as far as NeWS goes it's
*definitely* more than a claim. Parallax has been pretty responsive in
all our dealings with them. (for what's worth).
