Unfortunately, the pre-release driver software does not include much in the way of sources. It includes the long-promised 32-bit graphics engine, 32-bit XGA drivers, 32-bit Tseng 256 color drivers for 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480, 32-bit drivers for VGA/SVGA, and Toolkit support for the 32-bit graphics engine. No source is included, only beta-level drivers of the above. You will have to get in touch with IBM and request sources, I guess.
