[Oslib-devel] the fact of X 5.1 and 5.2 don't works bothers me

[Paul D. <du...@ho...>]

I downloaded the sources of X.
He, this is quite old, 1996!
Ok, I look the source code of X.

I was please with the code to switch A20 on (good macro to wait, not just 
some jmp or
nop ).

I was also please to see that there is a nice A20query, to test if A20 lines 
are on or off.

But the fact that when I tried to load a .xtn file, it makes my computer 
reboots...
that's an interesting bug to search for. Since X is the key were BIOS calls 
are
made, I guess we should make sure to find where it is bugging with my 
computer.
Which is a Duron.

So I guess now I should go and find Turbo/C to compile X.

I think I have a problem with problems. Somehow, up to now, I feeled 
compulse to
find a solution, to the fact that I was unable to rebuild the oslib.
And now I am realizing that I don't really know how to continue improving 
the situation.
Now I can compile oslib. But my previous idea about A20 line being badly 
done is gone. Sorry. :-)
So now, I begin to be interested to X. I guess I will slow down a bit, see 
your suggestions.
And get back to real life a bit... :-)
