SuSE Rage 128 Xserver Source and XFree 3.3.6

[Kevin B. Hendricks]

Hi,

I got tired of waiting for SuSE to release the source to its accelerated
Xserver for Rage 128, so I sent them a nasty gram and what they replied is
below:

So Anthony?, Tom?, Geert?, Anyone?

Do any of you know who has access to XFree 3.3.6 source code so that we can
get started porting this server to PPC?

Thanks,

Kevin

Here is SuSE's reply:

 I would be interested to learn who those "XFree86 developers" are whom you
 supposedly asked. The sources are available to the development team.

 It will be available as part of XFree86-3.3.6, within about one month. If you
 want to work on porting it to the PPC architecture, join the XFree86
 development team. Simply recompiling it will not work.
