Hello,
I am writing this directly to you because Xmacbsd-960127 on puma seems to
be from you:
Are there any non-XConsortium patches needed to build a NetBSD X-Server?
I got xc-1 to 3 from our x.org-mirror and want to start building X on my
own in a few days. I think that the NetBSD X-Server is based on a server
included in the X core distribution. But there HAVE to be patches - right?
Another thing: Do you know what is keeping color apart? If it is changing
CLUT entries - what aboutdirect devices (16bpp or 32bpp)? There you would
not need to mess around with CLUTs. Is there someone working on color
support right now? What to do to get ahead?
Bye Peter
