README for XFree86/OS2 v4.5.0 ============================= - There aren't too many changes this time. That's why the README of version 4.4.0 is included here. All of it still applies with the following additions/changes. - The distribution is now a little different: X450bin.zip binaries, /etc (required) X450lib.zip libraries, modules, some bitmaps (required) X450X11.zip mostly application defaults, keymaps,... (required) X450fnts.zip misc, TrueType, Type1, Speedo, cyrillic fonts (required) X450f75dpi.zip 75dpi fonts (required) X450sup.zip xf86sup.sys + shm.dll (required, but same versions as in 4.4.0, no need to update) X450f100dpi.zip 100 dpi fonts (optional) X450doc.zip manpages, HTML docs (optional, but recommended) X450prog.zip application development kit (optional) X450extras.zip Xnest, Xvfb, DMX (optional) FILES.zip a complete file listing SUMS.md5 md5 checksums of archives - New DMX server (distributed multihead). Read the documentation if you want to play with it. No local input devices are supported, only input events from the back-end server. Anyway, this is probably not very stable. - mkfontdir is a program again. However, mkfontscale still works as described below. - There are a couple of programs for debugging (inb, inw, inl, outb, outw, outl) included. They can perform I/O the same way the X server does, reading from and writing to ports. They are probably a great means to thoroughly crash your machine. Either handle with care or not at all! - If you upgrade from version 4.4.0 you only need the files X450{bin,lib,X11}.zip. There is no need to upgrade the fonts. - After installation, do not forget to edit /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (which will be overwritten during install) an run fc-cache as described below. - As a dirty workaround for the ctrl-c issue that was raised some time ago on the mailing list, SIGINT is now ignored in the server. Ctrl-c is not seen in xterm because this is disabled in xf86sup.sys. Use the xterm menu instead to send the INT signal.
