I have an X system running (?) on my A2000/060/CV64 it runs with 16Bpp,
but I have many keyboard problems.
I didn't find a french keyboard (I had made a working one with X 3.3 but
I lost it in a disk crash (I didn't had enough disk space at that time).
I think I will use an "usa1" keyboard to have more tests as many keys
does not work at all such as CTRL, SHIFT. I cant't do CTRL+SHIFT+F1 so I
have to reboot when something goes wrong or go through telnet from
another machine....
The screen is about 800*600 (was 1024x768) with X 3.3 with a virtual
size of 1024x768 but unusable without a working keyboard...
The module loader is "special" and I have to comment out most of the
modules to avoid segfaults or unknown symbols.
I didn't make new tests as I have had problems on other machines ...
A4000/PPC with a dead Cyberppc and an AMD biprocessor with a dead proc,
so many dead things ...
The A2000 is working all the day as a gateway with an home made kernel
2.4.20 compiled on February 15th and an EXT3 filesystem working
flawlessly.
