- Greetings. I have some software which seems to want to use the Starbase
- graphics package on my 9000/720 system running 8.05. Alas, I don't seem to
- have a /usr/lib/libdd* for the HPA1659A graphics subsystem. "/etc/dmesg"
- describes this as a
-
- "HPA1659A Bit-Mapped Display (revision 8.02/10) in GSC slot 1"
-
- The libdd*.a's that I seem to have are:
-
- libdd98704.a libdd98766.a libdddl.a libddhpcgm.a libddsbv.a
- libdd98705.a libddCADplt.a libddgcrx.a libddhpgl.a libddsox11.a
- libdd98735.a libddSMDpix.a libddgks.kbd.a libddhpterm.a
- libdd98736.a libddSMDpln.a libddgksm.a libddkbd.a
- libdd98765.a libddbyte.a libddhil.a libddlkbd.a
-
- I tried to see if, maybe, there was a "libddA1659A.a" (or even libdd*1659*.a)
- on the distribution CD-ROM but couldn't find one.
-
- Is it possible to use Starbase graphics with this beastie? Is it going
- to emulate something else?
-
- E-mail responses preferred as I don't always get to this group before
- the articles expire. If there seems to be interest, I will post a summary
- back here. Many thanks in advance.
