[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] RT graphics questions

bcorrie@uvicctr.UUCP (Brian Corrie) (12/11/88)

I may have access to an RT in the near future and am curious to
hear some of the +/- of what it can do graphics-wise.

I beleive the RT supports an 8-bit/pixel monitor with some specialized
graphics hardware ( ie. Dedicated graphics chip separate from the CPU ).
How fast is this baby? What kind of rendering speeds are possible?
Most of my experience is with Sun Workstations. How do the RT's
compare speedwise?

I understand X windows runs on the RT. What feelings do the net folk
have on setting up and running X on the RT.

Any awnsers would be greatly appreciated, as well as any other ramblings
about the graphic potential of this machine.

Email is best, and I will summarize if I get enough intersest.

Thanks y'all,

  Under the most rigourously controlled conditions of pressure,
  temperature, volume, humidity and other variables, the organism
  will do as it damn well pleases.

  Sounds like some of the code I have written!!!!!   8^)

  Don't worry, I know nothing of what I babble about.......
