That would typically mean a unix workstation using this chip. So your first step would be to identify a unix workstation from this time frame that had a graphics board based on this chip and then find an X server for it. If you really want to pursue porting the X server to this chip as a project, then get an older X11 distribution like X11R5 and use this book: X Window System Server: X Version 11, Release 5, by Elias Israel and Erik Fortune Digital Press <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0139727531/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0139727531&linkCode=as2&tag=legaliadulth-20> I have this book and have read it. It is a very good treatment of how to port the X server to new hardware. If you pursue this, I can help you, I have done X server work in the past. It is much harder to port the current codebase because of the way they have fractured the distribution. I understand why they did it (decreasing resources at X.org), but it is much, much harder to bring the current X server code base to a new hardware platform than it was before. So far I have been unsuccessful in simply compiling it for an existing well supported ubuntu distribution due to the disparate dependencies. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://computergraphicsmuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
