- I need to use it on a Sun w/ a Parallax video card that only supports an
- X11R4 server.
-
- Good news / Bad news time.
-
- Good news: Andrew on the R5 tape works just fine with X11R4. In fact,
- there should still be defines buried in there for it to work with X11
- all the way back to R2.
-
- Bad news: Andrew stresses portions of the X server that vendors never
- bother to test. I had bad experiences with the Parallax R3 server on
- the IBM RT. Perhaps Parallax has removed the bugs that Andrew found.
-
- Good luck!
