Hi!
Recent -current changes made 4d20 work :-)):
NetBSD 1.5ZA (XXXAXP) #0: Mon Dec 24 21:37:42 MET 2001
Digital AlphaStation 500/500, 500MHz, s/n
8192 byte page size, 1 processor.
total memory = 288 MB
(2256 KB reserved for PROM, 285 MB used by NetBSD)
avail memory = 262 MB
using 1841 buffers containing 14728 KB of memory
mainbus0 (root)
cpu0 at mainbus0: ID 0 (primary), 21164A-0
[...]
tga0 at pci0 dev 8 function 0: TGA2 pass 2, board type PS4d20
tga0: 1280 x 1024, 32bpp, IBM561 RAMDAC
tga0: interrupting at kn20aa irq 16
wsdisplay0 at tga0 (kbdmux ignored): console (std, vt100 emulation)
Simply starting XalphaNetBSD from last 1.5Z snapshot made everthing
going! What a nice Xmas gift! :-))
Q: Moving/scrolling larger areas/windows is quite slow/delayed. Is
this a limitation of the 4d20 or the xserver?
Thanks again and Merry Xmas,
Markus.
