Great Stuff, Winfried!
I remember trying to get the previous incarnation of the dial box driver
(Dave Gohara's) to work on RHEL years ago. I failed and subsequently
acquired a PowerMate, which was just a poor imitation. My dial box has
since disappeared.
Does anyone have spare dial boxes collecting dust somewhere? I'd like
to trade one or more for gratitude beer or the like.
Best.

Dear Coot community,
In an effort to be able to use SGI dial boxes on 64-bit Centos 6.5
systems, I have rewritten an existing dial box driver and removed all
dependencies on the Xfree86 library.
The modified driver can be downloaded from
http://xorgx11dialbox.sourceforge.net. Currently, only the source code
and a rpm for Fedora/Redhat EL/Centos systems are available.
Installation files for 32 bit systems or other OSes may follow, if users
with access to these systems contribute installables.
Support for input devices like the dial boxes would be a nice feature
even in Coot. Are there plans to implement this?
kind regards
Winfried Meining
