I have an X system running (?) on my A2000/060/CV64 it runs with 16Bpp, but I have many keyboard problems. I didn't find a french keyboard (I had made a working one with X 3.3 but I lost it in a disk crash (I didn't had enough disk space at that time). I think I will use an "usa1" keyboard to have more tests as many keys does not work at all such as CTRL, SHIFT. I cant't do CTRL+SHIFT+F1 so I have to reboot when something goes wrong or go through telnet from another machine.... The screen is about 800*600 (was 1024x768) with X 3.3 with a virtual size of 1024x768 but unusable without a working keyboard... The module loader is "special" and I have to comment out most of the modules to avoid segfaults or unknown symbols. I didn't make new tests as I have had problems on other machines ... A4000/PPC with a dead Cyberppc and an AMD biprocessor with a dead proc, so many dead things ... The A2000 is working all the day as a gateway with an home made kernel 2.4.20 compiled on February 15th and an EXT3 filesystem working flawlessly. Regards JP Pozzi
