[comp.unix.sysv386] X / Unix Driver for TIGA board?

berger@well.sf.ca.us (Robert J. Berger) (10/11/90)

Anyone know of a X driver for TIGA boards? We have a Mylex EISA board
with a 34020 controler and no software :-(.


Another question would be, does anyone know of a high performance ISA
or EISA board with high resolution ( >= 1100 x 900 x 8 bit color) that
has an X driver for Unix System V.3 or preferably V.4?

Please respond to the following signature, and not to the well addres of this
note.  Thanks!

The folks to contact are at Control Systems, makers of the Artist 
series of graphics boards.  They have several models to choose from.  
They support dual displays so you can have both VGA and TI340x0.  They 
purportedly sell their own X server with the card, but I havn't 
personally tested it.  (saw it running at last Jan. Uniforum). 
These puppies ain't cheap.

Check out the Microfield controllers for non-TI supported graphics.  Again,
I'm told they supply their own X server, dual display support, > 1200x1000x8
resolution, and best of all they claim a 200% performace gain over the 
TI34020! (I'll beleive it when I see it)  Once again, this is a pricey item,
too pricey for the average user.
