Do you have standard step/dir drives also?

RC servos normally just need one signal each (the PWM signal)

I do not have step/dir servo-drives or servo-motors.
I just have the mesa card 7i76e+7i85s (from a different project) and a bunch of standard RC-Servos, featuring 3 leads, beenig GND, 5V and PWM-Signal.
At the moment I just don't understand, how to bring out the pwm-signal and on which pins. is a special bit-file needed?

Yes, a special bit file would be needed.

For example here is a 7I76E bitfile with 2 stepgens (0 and 1) and 6 RCPWMgens
(0 ..5) on the last three stepgen connectors of the 7I76E:

thank you very much!
How do you do that? Rocket science? Software needed or pure coding?

Basically editing one source file to bring in the correct modules
and define the pinout and then re-compile...

Ahh, sound like fun! Many Thanks!
For me, to do the same, do I need more than what is described here ( wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Editing_MESA_Bitfiles)?
And the "source file" you mentioned is a standard bit-file from the MESA-net page of my card?
Can I brick my MESA-Card if I load a crapy bit-file with mesaflash?
The process described in the linked page, is it still applicable? New Version 14.7 of Xlinx Design Suite not needed?

 Yes, that page is still applicable (I'd get 14.7)The source is a PINXXXX.vhd file that
is in the source subdirectory of the 7I76E distribution zip file.

Here is the one changed file (other than files changed to add this to the sources)
that was used to build the 7I76E RCPWM firmware:
