- I've successfully installed the SLS 99p2 distribution. However there were no drivers for my videocard (ATI Ultra
- Pro) or for the compatible 8514A for X. I manage to locate an 8514 driver at misc. sites, in the following files:
-
- -rw-rw-r-- 1 28569 6024 Sep 5 23:41 X8514.README
- -rw-rw-r-- 1 28569 452427 Aug 29 15:44 Xlinux8514.T.Z
- -rw-rw-r-- 1 28569 90169 Aug 29 15:44 x.8514.src.T.Z
-
- However the instructions for installing this driver makes reference to a file called xsrc1.1.T.Z . Archie
- reported these files at some sites in the US, but since it was rather big (approx 6MB) I do not want to
- ftp it and copy it onto diskettes without knowing that the thing really compiles after the changes suggested
- in the instructions for installing the driver.
-
- Has anybody successfully managed to use the ATI Ultra Pro or 8514A card with X under this distribution? And
- if so, are the modified binaries available anywhere so I do not need to download all the files as I described
- earlier?
