| Subject: | AMIOPEN: d'Amiga and XFree86 4.x |
Hi All,
After having (finally) received my new d'Amiga system, I was thinking
about taking the plunge and putting on those new drivers for dual head.
My understanding is that this requires the installation of the newest
XFree86.
My question is this: am I going to cause myself support nightmares by
causing my d'Amiga to deviate from standard? :-)
On a more serious note, I was curious to know if anyone has done this?
(I'm assuming *someone* has, but you know what they say...) Can you give
me some hints, tips or warnings on this procedure? Being a relative Linux
newbie I'd rather not trash anything.
I've had a look over the installation instructions and it seems pretty
straight forward. Should I just follow along and I'll be all set?
And one last thing.... can someone repost the URL for the Matrox drivers?
Sorry if this is off-topic, feel free to mail privately.
Thanks Much!
Greg
p.s. on a slightly unrelated note, can someone recommend a good xterm?
I've been using the generic one, but I'd really love to be able to copy
text out of it. (Say URLs to paste into a browser... :-)
