Has anyone in netland successfully applied the IBM patch V1.32 for AOS (4.3bsd) to allow use of an 8514 display with the X11R4 server? When I tried it, I had numerous problems. First, many lines in the distribution (I ftped a copy from bikini.cs.ufl.edu) were split into two or more lines, resulting in compiler errors. Second, the directions for installation (e.g. the mods needed to ibm.cf) were unclear. Third, the file server/ddx/ibm/ibm8514/ibm8514.c was apparently missing. Can anyone report better luck?

You may want to check it, or find another source. Mail or call me if you have a problem. I did forget to tell everyone to turn on inclusion of the ibm8514 driver in ../mit/config/ibm.cf. The patch to include 8514 and vga, plus set the compiler version correctly is included below. cd ../mit/config patch < this_file Lastly, there is no ibm8514.c. ibm8514.o is created by loading all the objects. =====----- Mark S.
