by I am having problems with the ELF Mach32 server. I think I've figured out
what the problem is, but am not sure. It seems to be screwing up the
color map somewhere. I only have this probem using the ELF compiled
version of the server. _NOT_ the a.out version, it works fine.
I originally had the video memory mappe to 100MB. I changed it around,
and the whole improved (as in I saw most of the windows, etc,
but some things still were messed up. It seemd that anything that used
the color white was now using black for white (including the cursor).
I changed the cursor to a software cursor. It made no difference.
Here is other information that I've posted a few times in the past,
but got no response. Is it just my hardware? I would think not
considering that the a.out version works fine. HELLPPP!!! Please.

I'm trying to get XFree86 3.1.1 working with elf libs (and elf binaries
obviously). I have seen much success in this area from others, but never
anyone using a mach32 board (an old one ATI VLB 2mb VRAM).
I have rolled my own elf distribution of the 3.1.1 stuff. I took
xc-[123].tar.gz, and the XFree86-3.1.1.diff.gz patch, and the patch
XFree86-3.1.1-Linux-ELF-3.diff found at sunsite in
/pub/Linux/X11/XFree86-3.1.1/ELF. and recompiled the whole thing, and I
have also picked up the complete binary distribution (no includes, mans, etc)
from the same location.
I have tried both the SVGA, and the mach32 servers. 3.1.1 in aout works
just fine. My machine is 1.2.0, libc 5.0.10, gcc 950523. (and many others
in the past three months, but those are the latest I've tried.)
The server seems to overclock the monitor because it (the monitor) shuts off
the picture, and the little "stop it you are hurting me" light comes on.
Someone suggested that it sounded like a config problem, but I use the
same config for both aout and elf, and aout works, elf doesn't...
I have now attempted to use the 3.1.2 server. Again no luck. a.out
server works fine, but the elf server overclocks the monitor and then
if I change the resolution (by way of alt-ctrl-[+-] I get a completely
balck screen, except for xdaliclock. I can see this. The mouse is
black, all of the xterms are black, etc.
Following is info from both servers run with "-probeonly", and SuperProbe as
well as a copy of my XF86Config. As you can see both servers probe identically.
Go figure. These are from 3.1.1.
thanks for any help...
