As the subject says, I am interested to know if anyone has ported X11 Rev 4 to the SCO Open Desktop 3.2. I am attempting this build and I have found I have to define either STREAMCONN, TCPCONN or UNIXCONN. Apparently these flags are used to specify what type of network connection and transport protocol is used in XOpenDisplay. Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated. Tony Ip tony@sunrise.com

Unfortunately, the version of Xstreams.[ch] included in X11R4 is a very out of date version that does not do networking properly. You will need to rewrite this and any other OS dependent parts. If you are using a VGA type display card, you should use the x386 server that has been discussed in this group. I understand that it works well, has decent performance, and is free. The MIT server will not work on a VGA type display without major rewrites of the display code, as the VGA is a bit-planar device. The sample server assumes a packed pixel frame buffer. -Israel Pinkas -- -------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The above are my personal opinions, and in no way represent the opinions of Intel Corporation.

There is a VGA-driver from IBM included with the X11R4 distribution. It is working. (after a few bug-fixes) At least I have it working on xenix.
