[comp.windows.x] HP9000s300 Catseye server?

interran@marktwain (John Interrante) (01/09/89)

The HP9000s300 workstation comes equipped with several possible kinds
of display hardware - monochrome vs. color, medium resolution vs. high
resolution, 1 vs. 6 vs. 10 planes, etc.  I compiled and installed the
sample server from the MIT X11R3 distribution only to find that it
couldn't handle the 98550A Catseye 10-plane color display.  No big
problem since I'm sure HP will release a commercial X11R3 server that
handles a Catseye display, but I would like to have a working server
in the meantime.  Has anyone written the missing Catseye code and
contributed it to the X Consortium yet?

HP has released an X Server that supports 98550 catseye.

You need not wait.
