[comp.unix.xenix] X Windows on a 386 UNIX box?

mitsu@well.UUCP (Mitsuharu Hadeishi) (12/08/87)

	Does anyone know anybody who has ported X to run under
XENIX/386?  Information about how fast it is, how much code has to
be rewritten to get reasonable performance (in particular, for a
display adaptor such as the WYSE 700).  If not, can someone point me
to sources from which to start (we also need to write a device driver
for the WYSE adaptor; anybody have comments about this?)  We don't currently
have XENIX/386, but we're looking at switching to it; if Microsoft has
some plans in this regard, it'd help to know, as well (i.e., is
Microsoft considering porting X, Presentation Manager, or Windows to XENIX?)
