[comp.unix.xenix] Xsight

The last I heard SCO's Xsight and Xsight Development Kit were scheduled
for release in the second quarter 1990. Is the release schedule still
the same, or is there something more definite?

Hi Netters.

Has anyone been able to get Xsight (the X window part of Open Desktop)
to run on a computer with a plasma display?

I have just finished putting the whole thing on a Compaq Portable 386.
Unix works fine but when I try to log into 'odt' I get the error:

--------------------------------
Fatal server bug!
GRAPHICS MODE ioctl failure

giving up
xinit: Invalid argument (errno 22): unable to connect to X server
--------------------------------

The Compaq Portable 386 with a plasma screen is listed in the
SCO books as tested hardware.  I find nothing in the release notes
about it.

SCO says they will call me on Friday between 10 and 11.  Thanks alot!

Any help is appreciatied!
