Hello, i just got an old 386 pc with a greyscale display. Since there is no hard-disk and floppy has a little to less space for linux with an x-server, it uses ms-dos. Terminal emulation over the serial console works fine, so i thought there must be a way to get an "remote" x-server on that screen to use all the advantages of a linux-gui. So i sat down, wrote a dos-programm that can write pixels or draw rects on the screen and which receives its commands from the serial-port. Now the only thing missing is a driver for the X-Server to tell him how to write graphics to the serial-port. Since I'm not that familiar with the X-architecture, I was wondering how to start this driver. I looked at the dummy-driver-source, but all i found there was initialisation stuff and nothing to wrap the actual routines for drawing on the screen. Another idea i got, was to communicate using sockets, but that would mean, that i have to implement the xdmcp and the x-protocoll, which seems likely to be a quite larger piece of work. So if anybody understands what i'm trying to do, maybe he could give me some hints to point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance Hagen Fritsch _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
