[comp.sys.hp] Xkernel for HP9000/318?

tml@hemuli.tik.vtt.fi (Tor Lillqvist) (06/05/90)

We have half a dozen of (diskless) HP9000/318 workstations that are
beginning to feel, well, awfully low-performance.  I have read about
the "Xkernel" that turns a Sun 3/50 into an X terminal, more or less.
Now I wonder if anybody has done something similar for the HP9000/318?

Or is this really very simple?  What if I build a really minimal HP-UX
kernel, and start only the X server in /etc/inittab?  Would this give
me better X performance?  I will try this when I get to work tomorrow,
and post the results.
