I have ported the Bellcore window system MGR to 386PC running Xenix SysV 2.3.2.
Current BitBlit code supports both interlaced and none-interlaced video
controllers. The code has been tested on Hercules and VGA card. It should
be easy enough to adapt the code for any other display cards supported by
Xenix.
MGR is a network transperant window system delevoped at Bellcore for SUN
workstations. The source code is available via anonymous ftp at bellcore.com.
I haven't got time to port everything yet, but the main window manager
and most of the utilities and demos run very stable now and a 386SX
with the MGR runs just like a low end SUN-3 workstation. I have tried to
run graphics demos over a 2400 baud phone line. The performance is quite
acceptable.
If there are enough interest I will post diffs to comp.unix.xenix.
