Has anyone run the sun X11 R2 server under SunOS 4.0 ??
I just got it and I'm debating whether to install it or not.

Thanks,

We have had X11 R2 running on a Sun 3/60C under SunOS 4.0Beta1 for a
couple of weeks now. It works about the same as a Sun under SunOS 3.x
(although I strongly urge you to install all of the fixes, especially
#23).

I suggest you go for it.

It works fine on a sun4.  If you're using a sun3 don't compile with the high
optimization settings, as things will break.  If you're using a sun4 compile
lib/Xt/TMparse.c with -O1; other things (including the server) will work
compiled -O4.

By using dynamic libraries for Xlib and Xt I reduced the size of /usr/bin/X11
by about 40%, although some nasty Imake hacking was required to get this to
happen automagically.
