Has anyone gotten X386 to run under Dell SysV R4.0? Apparently there is a binary version under pub/386i/beta/ on 131.159.8.35 that will support R4.0 (Personally, I haven't had any luck with that version or the one in pub/386i/X11R4/). For me personally, I'm trying to get it to run on a Genoa 5400 with video Bios version 3.5, a Sony 1304 (48KHz Multifreq Monitor), Logitech C7 Bus Mouse. The distribution in beta has no install.sh in usr/lib/X11/X386/etc. Can the install.sh from the version in pub/386i/X11R4 be used? Specificaly, if you have gotten it to run, could you please tell me what you did besides untarring the file? Thanks for the help. Bret Rothenberg rothenbe@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu

Why do you want to run that verses the X that comes with Dell's product? -- Larry Snyder, NSTAR Public Access Unix 219-289-0287 (HST/PEP/V.32/v.42bis) regional UUCP mapping coordinator {larry@nstar.rn.com, ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!larry}
