XServer source from Amiga Unix (A2410 support)
« on: February 08, 2008, 09:42:11 PM »
I'm desperately looking for source (or a pointer to such) to support the A2410 (ULowell) video card.

This card is currently not supported in either geekgadgets X server, nor Holger Kruse's AmiWin, nor m68k Linux and would love to be able to take advantage of it - otherwise it's just taking up a slot in my A3000.

I've contacted UMass at Lowell, but there doesn't appear to be anyone left from the early 1990s that would know anything about the project :-(

Appreciate the pointers - but all of those are Amiga OS specific.  Looking for the Unix code...

yup.  source code would be Commodore/AT&T proprietary - even now ... :-(  AFAIK, no source was shipped with Amiga Unix.
