- The following may be of interest to you. It is from the Xsgi man
- entry and points out that despite the fact that it is now
- primarily an X server, it also handles PS. (At least that is my
- understanding of it.)

- PROTOCOL EXTENSIONS
-
- Extensions to the core X protocol may be available on a
- given instance of Xsgi. Among the several extensions
- supported at time if writing are Adobe PostScriptTM, X Input
- Extension (tablet, spaceball, dials, etc), and SHAPE (non
- rectanglular windows). Available extensions may be
- interrogated with xdpyinfo(1), or, from within a program,
- via XQueryExtension(3X), or XListExtensions(3X).
