Subject: Driver for Sigma Laserview Display?
Date: Mon,  4 Sep 1995 18:08:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950904220809.jV0yqKtvXV1CxWdkoK-lg30hAfQ5_7cujn75j5RKDNQ@z> (raw)

Since some years I use a `Sigma Laserview' (19" B&W monitor, 1600x1200)
with X11 and ISC Unix.  I like that display very much, the Sigma is
substantially more crisp than the Samsung 17GLs currently hooked to my
Plan 9 box (though the Samsung really isn't bad).

The Laserview has a proprietary display controller, for which I do not
have any real documentation, but on my Linux CD I've spotted an X11
driver for it.

      - How difficult would you think is a port of the Linux
	X11 driver to Plan 9?

I'm very experienced with C (nearly 15 years) but I never did any
programming of display device drivers.

      - Where to start?
      - Recommendations for books?
      - Any other takers?
