[comp.windows.x] R4 and SGI Personal Iris

cwarsaw@NSWC-WO.ARPA (Warsaw) (02/07/90)

Hello out there,

Has anyone had any experience with X11R4 and a Silicon Graphics
Personal Iris?

I have the X11R3 Development option provided by SGI but I'm 
interested in building the R4 server, or barring that, building 
the R4 clients.

I would like to keep R3 up because of the way SGI has integrated 
X and GL.  It would be alright for R4 to take over the whole screen
(and ignore GL) as long as when I quit R4, R3 runs as before.
There is a configuration file sgi.cf in mit/config.  Does this mean
I can do a make World (provided I change the appropriate directory
variables so as not to clobber R3) ?  Or does this mean I can only
build R4 clients?  Will they run on SGI's R3 server?

BTW, my configuration is Personal Iris 4D/25, IRIX 3.2, 8MB, 8 planes.

Any help would be much appreciated.
