Well it took a while to figure this out, but it works! I put together a quick list of what I had to do to make it run.
1. Install your Picasso II or supported graphics card. Look in the archive documents to see a complete list of supported boards. I used a Picasso II+ and it works fine.
2. Start with a working patched Amiga Unix 2.1p2a installation
3. Run olinit and xinit to make sure they are set up on your machine and working.
4. Download the SVGA Drivers and gunzip the file X11R5_bin.tar.gz to end up with a file named X11R5_bin.tar. Write this file to an empty tape on your A3070 (I did this on the Amiga side of the machine using BTN)
5. Copy the file install.svga from the SVGA_Drivers archive to the Amix machine (I put it in /home) and run it "sh install.svga" I used an MS-DOS formatted 720k floppy to copy the file from the Amiga side of the machine with the command "mcopy A:INSTALL.SVG /home/install.svga
6. This should have left 3 files in /var/tmp. These will be deleted later so copy them to /home or somewhere else if you want to save them. The only file you will need at this point is named installR5. This needs a quick edit with vi to comment out the command on the 5th line that reads mt fsf. The tar command will not find the file on your tape if you do not do this. The modified file should look like this;
#!/sbin/sh
cd /usr
mt rew
#mt fsf
tar xf /dev/rmt/4h 2>/dev/null
sync
sync
ln -s X11R5 X
cd /usr/include
ln -s /usr/X11R5/includeX11 X11
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/X11R5/bin X11
cd /usr/lib
ln -s /usr/X11R5/lib X11
ln -s X11/libX11.so.5.0 libX11.so.5.0
ln -s X11/libXaw.so.5.0 libXaw.so.5.0
ln -s X11/libXext.so.5.0 libXext.so.5.0
ln -s X11/libXi.so.5.0 libXi.so.5.0
ln -s X11/libXmu.so.5.0 libXmu.so.5.0
ln -s X11/libXt.so.5.0 libXt.so.5.0
ln -s X11/liboldX.so.5.0 liboldX.so.5.0
cd /usr/X/bin
rm X
ln -s Xsvga X
echo "Edit XsvgaConfig in your home directory for approriate ViewMode!
Make sure /usr/bin/X11 is in your path or the X-Server could not be found."
7. Run the modified installR5 script with the command "sh installR5". This will copy the files from the 30 meg .tar file that you put on the tape to your hard drive. The binaries will go in a new directory named /usr/X11R5/bin
8. Change into the directory /etc and back up your profile (cp profile profile.bak) and use vi to modify the path statement to include "/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R5/bin" It should look something like this;
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/etc:/usr/ucb:/usr/amiga/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R5/bin:/usr/public/bin:/usr/hosts${Xb}
9. Change to the directory named /usr/sys and run the command "make". This will compile a new kernel with the changes needed to run the linked-in "Xsvga" X-server. The new kernel file will be in the /usr/sys directory and it will be named "relocunix". Copy the new kernel file to your /stand directory and run the command "make bootpart KERNEL=relocunix" Shutdown and reboot the machine to load the new Kernel and all the rest of the changes.
10. Locate the file named XsvgaConfig in the root directory and do a quick edit with vi to select the screenmode that you desire. Note do not choose a frequency or resolution that is higher than the capabilities of your monitor, there will be "no sanity checks".
11. Congratulations! Grab a well deserved cup of coffee and start playing around with some of the binaries in the /usr/X11R5/bin directory.
PS. A couple of last minute thoughts. The keymap seems to be screwed up now, but only in "X". The "y and z" keys are swapped, and a "/ is now SHIFT-8", there are several others. Does anyone know how to fix it so the standard American Amiga keyboard layout is correct? Although I have a strong Amiga backround, I am not a Unix person. Even with the directions provided in the Gateway drivers it took me a couple days to figure this out and get it running. Let me know if you have any comments, or spot any errors. Thanks to Klaus, Failure, and everyone else for providing the files, drivers, and information to get it all running.
