[comp.windows.x] Availability of Xwindows for the Amiga

joel@pyr.gatech.EDU (Joel Rives) (11/21/87)

Has anyone ported Xwindows to the Amiga yet? Of course, Amiga has it's own
bitmapping display routines and they are likely to be more efficient than
generic X (moderate level of assurance here). Even so, the ability to run 
Xwindows on an Amiga would be useful to me.

Ameristar (which makes an ethernet card for the Amiga) has announced support
for the X Window System, and there are STRONG rumors that X-11 will be part
of Commodore's Workbench release 1.4 (due spring-summer 1988).
