Hi again,

I _finally_ got X working on my Quadra.  I had to manually copy the 
madhatter patch into the machdep.c file, but it works now (well, kinda).  
The problem I now seem to face is that providing I am using my crappy old 
non-multiscan Apple 14" display (BW, 640x480) X works great, but when I 
switch over to my Nokia 447L (17" in BW, 640x480) it _still_ does not 
recognize that I have intvid0 at obio0, or whatever the heck that is (I 
know what I mean :P)

Anyone have any ideas on this??

Next problem.

I downloaded the Windowmaker XWindow manager today and the INSTALL 
instructions call for doing ./build

I have xpm installed and I can find libXpm.so.4.7 in /usr/X11R6/lib and 
have (out of frustration) linked it to just about everywhere else I can 
think of that it might be needed/wanted.

The problem comes right at the end(?) of the build when it says that it 
can't find libXpm on my system and quits. :/  Has anyone had any 
experience with installing Windowmaker?  If so, what the hell am I doing 
wrong here??  heh heh

I would use AfterStep, but Windowmaker looked so much cooler (well, once 
color is invented <g> for the quadra's)

anyway, any and all help will be greatly appreciated

Regards,

Greg Evans
