There is a new BETA-TEST Version of the VGA X11R4-server on
flop.informatik.tu-muenchen.de.
There are some new features, for ex. the use of the overscan area of the VGA. Some
bugfixes for monochrome monitors were also incoorporated. And perhaps the PVGA1A
driver is now running. Also there now is support for the Genoa 6400. Please only ftp
the stuff, if you're really intrested in doing beta-testing, and send me comments,
about what went wrong.
Files:
/pub/i386/X11R4/X386.beta.bin.Z the executable server
/pub/i386/X11R4/X386.beta.tar.Z the source update
Note, that you also need the old sources to recompile the server.
And for people, who like hard numbers, here are some benchmarks:
