This is the README for the binary release of XFree86 3.1.1 // X11R6 for Interactive Unix SVR3.2 They have been build on Vendorrelease 4.1, with gcc-2.6.3 but should run on every Interactive Unix till Vendorrelease 3.0. The Serverbinaries support the use of the mmap-2.2.3 Driver, but don't depend on it. If you have any suggestions about the packages feel free to mail me at michael.rohleder@stadt-frankfurt.de The following packages are available X3118514.tgz IBM 8514/A and compatible X311AGX.tgz AGX boards X311M32.tgz Mach32 boards X311M64.tgz Mach64 boards X311M8.tgz Mach8 boards X311Mono.tgz Monochrome X server X311P9K.tgz P9000 based boards X311S3.tgz S3 based boards X311SVGA.tgz Super VGA based boards X311V16.tgz 4-bit pseudo color for VGA & SVGA cards X311W32.tgz ET4000/W32 based cards Choose one of the above packages related to your graphic card. X311chk.tgz SuperProbe, reconfig, xf86config binarys to check what Server to use and generate/regenerate the XF86Config file. If you don't now about your card, get above package first and run SuperProbe. X311doc.tgz XFree86 special Documents (including html Versions) X311etc.tgz XFree86 additional Files, including mmapSVR3.shar and OS-specific configuration scripts. X311link.tgz The XFree86 Server reconfiguration Kit (LinkKit) X311fnt1.tgz the misc and 75dpi fonts X311fnt2.tgz the 100dpi and PEX related fonts X311fnt3.tgz the scalable fonts Speedo and Type1 X311nest.tgz Nested Server (to run on top of a real Server) X311bin.tgz other binarys from the xc/programs tree xdm,xmkmf,imake,xrdb... X311xdm.tgz xdm binary and config files (note: they are too splitted into X311bin.tgz & X311lib2.tgz) X311lib1.tgz data/configuration files needed by the server X311lib2.tgz data/configuration files needed for the bin-package X311uman.tgz Users Manual Pages (includes imake, and XFree86-Server-Manuals) X311pman.tgz Programmers Manual Pages X311prog.tgz Standard X11R6 Programming Environment (include-files,libs,imake-configuration) X311Fres.tgz Fresco programming environment (include-files and lib) Needed for a minimal install (Server only) : 1. X311.tgz 2. X311lib1.tgz 2. X311fnt1.tgz +. X311xdm.tgz (for WS Login) & your own special XF86Config ;-) After getting the packages generate a directory /usr/X11R6 either by mkdir or by generating a symbolic link to another directory, maybe on another Filesystem. I don't check how much file space you need for separate packages, but for full install you need at least 75 MB. (better a little bit more) Change to the new generated directory /usr/X11R6 and unpack the packages. You need the gnu-zcat binary to uncompress, if you don't have it try the uncompress facility of your ftp-server if available. With zcat do: zcat X311.tgz | tar xvf - with already uncompressed packages do tar xvf - < X311.tar After installation you should link your Xserver-Binary to X for that go to /usr/X11R6/bin and do ln -s XF86_ X Next try the binary: 1. make sure you have an XF86Config file if not make one with xf86config or if you want to use your XFree86-2.1x Xconfig reconfigure it with reconfig. 2. X -probeonly 2>&1 | tee /tmp/.Log would give you the first impression about XFree Server look about any Error reported. An error about named transport could be ignored 3. try your X server by simply typing X at the command line This should give you an X-Display with Mousecursor and the stipple bitmap 4. try to configure your xdm and start your X server by using an /etc/init.d/xdm script file. inside call exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm in the start case, and kill the related xdm pid in the stop case.
