Does anyone know of an X server for a Symbolics/TI Lisp machine?

Symbolics includes a port of the sample X11R3 server in their X Window
System layered product.  It's buggy, but it works.  They were working on
X11R4 in the fall, so I hope it will be available when Genera 8.1 comes
out.

You might ask Symbolics.  In an email conversation I had (quite a while
ago by now), the other person referred in passing to Symbolics' Lisp
Machine X server.  I don't recall who the other person was, and never
checked this out; it might have been nothing more than a slip of the
fingers.  But it also might be for real.

Symbolics sells an X server for its Lisp Machines.  It is a pretty much
untuned port of the MIT server.  You can get more information from your
salesman.
