Could you compile links2 for BL1 /SVGAlib? Or maybe a statically compiled
version that will work on both BL3 and BL1 with SVGAlib?
links2 in X simply won't work on my 486 laptop with BL3 because I cannot
do enough colors on it. Other people also have laptop computers that do
no more than 8-bit color. This is typical of older laptop 486s - one of
ours does just greyscale, two do 4-bit or maybe 8-bit color. Are there
also older pentium laptops that won't do 16-bit color?
I suppose you would tell us all to use BL1/Netscape instead of BL3.
BL3 is nicely set up for PCMCIA modems already.
