[Xpert]Re: KDRIVE and host.def

[Herman Buel]

Host.dev for Kdrive:

Here are a few that were posted by several poeple (see note)

 

Host.defs

 

Number 1

/*

 * Which servers to build.  There is now only one XFree86 server.

 * It can be disabled by the following.

 *From JuliusZ Chroboczek...

define XF86Server        NO

define KDriveXServer            YES

define TinyXServer              YES

define XfbdevServer             YES

 */

By default, this will build a server with no support for scalable
fonts (but support for built-in ``fixed'' and ``cursor'' fonts, and
normal support for bitmap fonts and font-server provided fonts).  You
may therefore also want to add the following lines:
 
  #define BuildType1 YES
  #define BuildFreeType YES
 
Then, do the usual ``nice make World &> world.log'', but do *not* make
install, as this would overwrite your copies of xinit, Imake, some
headers and some configuration files; instead, cd to
xc/programs/Xserver, and install the Xvesa and Xfbdev binaries by
hand.  Also install the Xkdrive, Xfbdev and Xvesa manual pages (which
are under hw/kdrive).
 
If you make the servers suid root, you should be able to say
 
  xinit -- Xfbdev
 
or
 
  xinit -- Xvesa -screen 800x600x24
 
 
I would like to argue that these two X servers deserve being packaged.
If someone is willing to package them, he may count on my help with
any upstream issue.  I believe that the packages should not list
anything as required.  They should *suggest* a package containing
xinit, and suggest a package containing bitmap fonts.  I think it is
better to compile-out the scalable rasterisers: the Type 1 rasteriser
is rather fat.
 
There are of course no licensing issues.
 
Sincere regards,
