I received X11.R3 from ISC today. After some research, it seemed clear that it would support the Sigma LaserView 7. I had received a review of X displays/ software in reply to a posting I made a while ago, which contained an ISC Xconfig file that had the Sigma in it. It had a version number of 1.7, dated 89/03/03. The fact that ISC had a Sigma server was confirmed by other parts of the review The X I received from ISC does not support the Sigma. Its Xconfig file is marked 1.6, dated 89/01/12. I called them, and they say I have the most up to date release. Can anyone shed some light as to where the 1.7 version came from ? I *really* want to run on the Sigma, and not VGA .... -- Paul Bennett, Dialogic Corp.

We got Xconfig version 1.7 with ISC's X11.3 release 1.0. It came with the 386/ix version 2.0 (SVR3.2) software. At least that was what was stamped on the disks. I think we got it in February or March. Previous to that, we had a version of X11.2 stamped "alpha". It came with the 386/ix 1.0.6 (SVR3.0) update we received last September or October. Please note that my personal opinion is that the alpha release was not suitable for development. The 1.0 release is usable for development if you don't mind having to code workarounds. Release 1.0 is still not bug free or complete enough to be able to support a real application being used by unsophisticated users. -- Rick Richardson | JetRoff "di"-troff to LaserJet Postprocessor|uunet!pcrat!dry2 PC Research,Inc.| Mail: uunet!pcrat!jetroff; For anon uucp do:|for Dhrystone 2 uunet!pcrat!rick| uucp jetroff!~jetuucp/file_list ~nuucp/. |submission forms. jetroff Wk2200-0300,Sa,Su ACU {2400,PEP} 12013898963 "" \d\r\d ogin: jetuucp
