hi folks.


alpha port is not using xorg by default because there is not Xalpha
equivalent for it. does anyone actually use this?

is there anyone would be actually adversely affected if it was no
longer available until someone did the work to make it so? i'd like
to get alpha onto xorg by default.

thanks.

I have some of them (Xalpha for PCI TGA also works on NetBSD/arc BTW),
but no problem to make xorg default.

What we need is to port TGA/SFB support (that also use /dev/ttyE0 mmap)
in XdecNetBSD to wsfb driver, and I guess it's trivial for someone[TM]
who is familiar with Xorg driver...

I'm still hand-cranking a vintage release of xf86 on my ds20.

this is the XFree86 server, right, not Xalpha? that one should
be able to work with xorg... but it's been a while.

Pretty much along the lines I was wondering.
