I'm successfully using a 1.3ALPHA kernel with the Xfree86-based X-stuff
(the new one) on a Quadra 840AV in 1152*870*1bit mode without any
madhatter patches. I'm on a Radius Intellicolor 20 monitor. Everthing
worked str8 outta the box.


---------------------
On a slightly similar note (X) I'm trying to use some binaries from the
Amiga archive that are X-related. Some of them come out with an ld.so-type
error. One says "Cannot map ld.so" & the others are the
/usr/libexec/ld.so: libXpm.so.4.6: No such file or directory variety(with 
varying actual files). I know that the X troubleshooting part of the FAQ
dealt with this, & I had added the line to my rc.local file for getting X
to work fine. Unfortunately, the file that it needs actually doesn't
exist, so it's not just updating the ld.so hash table. I periodically do
"ls -lR > dirtree.txt"
from / to make it easier to find files & a grep of this proved fruitless.
(btw, does a reliable find utility exist?)
Any ideas why this is happening & what I can do to help it?

TIA
Mike
