I installed X11R3 from the MIT tapes, and I have two questions. I have A/UX 1.1. 1. The man pages for XmacII state that "Color and multiple screens are supported under A/UX Release 1.1 and later." The installation notes in server/ddx/macII/README state that "These Apple X11 drivers. . .support a single monochrome (1 bit deep) screen. . ." I'm wondering which of these statements is correct. I can't invoke XmacII with the -depth 8 option, so I assume it's the latter. Is there any hope of color and/or multiple screens on the Mac? 2. I tried unsuccessfully to implement the "Purdue patches". Could someone who succeeded in doing this outline the necessary changes to the makefiles? -- Charlie Neil (chn@lanl.gov) Los Alamos National Laboratory (505) 665-0978

To have color under A/UX though you need to buy the X-Window package from Apple (or write your own drivers). The publicly distributed drivers are monochrome-only. aem a.e.mossberg - aem@mthvax.cs.miami.edu/aem@umiami.BITNET - Pahayokee Bioregion I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce. - Hoover

Re #1:
I may be wrong, but I think the macII ddx code makes no use of the
ddx/cfb code (which would of course mean it's strictly 1 bit per pixel).
Do a "grep cfb *.c" in the ddx/macII directory. If nothing along
the lines of a cfbScrInit() routine appears, your server definitely
wired up as mono. Or you could just grep for a routine called (I think)
mfbScrInit(); if it's there, same thing.
