[comp.unix.i386] 6386 WGS--graphics on the console?

kherron@ms.uky.edu (Kenneth Herron) (11/14/89)

We have a user who wants to access EGA graphics from SysV/386 version
3.1.?, running on a 6386 WGS.  I called AT&T Technical support, who
basically told me it was possible but couldn't tell me how.  Is this
possible?  Does anyone know how?

What do you mean by 'access' EGA under system V.3.1?  As far as I know
(I'm only an installation tech, so I may not know as much as I think) if the
program your user desires to use addresses (is designed to use) the EGA card,
it (the O/S) will definitely allow access.

I guess I need more information about what problem you are having to be able
to give a hand.  What's happening?
