The PCI version ought to work... I would venture to guess the AGP version
might work too. If you already have the card, why not give it a try?
Get the latest XFree86 3.3.3.1 debs for Slink using the following line in
/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.netgod.net/debian x/

I have a 486DX2/66 with 8MB which runs perfectly well. Its doing file and
print sharing, e-mail, and IP gatewaying. The same machine running Windows
95 basically sucked. For that matter, I even compile stuff on it
sometimes.

I have this same card. You want to use the XFree86 3.3.3.1 SVGA server.
Download the glibc version from ftp.xfree86.org, and then copy the new
server over the one installed by Debian. Or, you could probably upgrade to
Potato to get the same server.

It does not need glibc2.1. I have the G2 player running on Slink without

Downloading from the German site works just fine once you realize the
layout is the same, and once you decipher a few words.

SCO stands for Santa Cruz Operation, which still exists. They produce a
UNIX which was once far more popular than it is today... One of the placed

The driver is not compatible with Linux. Go ahead and compule
MCA IS supported by the kernel. I recently built a 2.2.x version with MCA
support for a PS/2 386 which I have. You may however have to enable
developmental options in the c/menu/x config menus though.
Dunno about 2.0.x kernels.

Look on ftp.debian.org and its mirrors under unstable. QT 1.42 can be
found there, and does work with Slink.

Someone suggested I remove .wp8x.set and then try running WordPerfect.
Once I did this, I still had the problem. Any other ideas? I've had
WordPerfect running on Debian 2.1 before a system reinstall, but mow it

Take a look at the xfstt package. I'm currently using it to gain access to
Windoze TrueType fonts without difficulty. xfstt is part of the Slink
distribution.
