The XF86SUP.SYS source is at
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/xfree
If you could not find it there, let me know I would e-mail it to
you.
You need to study the code in os-support.zip which i sent you a
while ago. that code uses XF86SUP driver. XFree86 needs those
functions. How you provide them -- by a direct port of XF86SUP.SYS
driver, a DX driver or a DDK is your choice and you decide which
would be the best and easiest for you to do. XF86SUP.SYS has one
advantage, that it also has /dev/pty. Later when we add MingW32
support, XF86SUP.SYS would come handy to support xterm, and xdm.
Most of the XF86SUP.SYS code is in assembeler language (masm x86)
written for IBM Visual Age C++ and OS/2 DDK.
