- README to accompany the new X11 R5 Xnext (Mouse-X) server
- ******************************************************************************
-
- NOTE: Mouse-X will not run on Intel machines, period. Sorry!
-
- This new version of the public domain "Mouse-X" server is an X11 Release 5
- server, and fully supports all the functionality of that release. The X
- source code was patched up through fix-22, and then modified for the NeXT
- platform.
-
- These binary files were compiled using Gnu gcc 2.3.3 on a NeXT running OS 3.0.
- None of this new release will run under OS 2.1. Sorry. A patch to allow
- others to compile the complete X tree and the server from the MIT source is
- available on the cs.orst.edu archive. This allows 2.1 users to compile their
- own set of binaries.
-
- This new version now can be used with the ADB-style NeXT keyboards.

- Contents of the compressed tarfile:
-
- 1) Xnext and Xnext.color
-
- These are the two servers, one for running on monochrome machines, and one for
- color machines. The *same* server is used on Turbo and non-Turbo machines.
- None of the Mouse-X servers will run on a NextDimension machine.
-
- 2) Xfe.app
-
- By far the most effective way to run this server is to use the Xfe.app front
- end which is included. Install this in /LocalApps or ~/Apps. It includes a
- help window with fairly detailed instructions on how to use it.
-
- Running the server from xinit:
-
- For those users who wish to run this server from a script or from the command
- line, remember that if you do so, you cannot escape back to the NeXTstep
- window without quitting X entirely.
-
- My heartiest thanks to those who either blazed the trail before me or who
- helped with my work:
-
- der Mouse (did the original work)
- Howie Kaye (worked on the front end and server)
- Paul Poh (did the original R5 color port of the server)
- Juergen Koller (assisted in getting final bugs out of the server)
- Scott Turner (wrote the new keymapping for the ADB keyboard)
