I've just finished installing X2.1 (X11) for AIX. I'm trying to get it to peacefully coexist with X10 (I can already hear the laughter ;-). I've had a few problems, but for the most part things seem to work ok. It seems however, that X11 breaks the vtsingle font (maybe others that I haven't found) for X10. Rom10.500, etc work with both versions. Has anyone else noticed this or other strange behavior? --phil-- -- Phil Windley | windley@iris.ucdavis.edu Division of Computer Science | ucbvax!ucdavis!iris!windley College of Engineering | (916) 752-7324 (or 3168) University of California, Davis | Davis, CA 95616

Except for the fonts and several (5 or 6) shell scripts, the two distributions are contained in separate libraries (X1.1 files are usually in directories names X and X2.1 files are usually in directories named X11). The X2.1 versions of shell scripts such as xinit and aixwm contain code which allow the scripts to invoke X10 whenever an -X10 flag is used (e.g. xinit -X10). The way to make sure that you have the X2.1 shell scripts is to install X2.1 after X1.1. Most of the fonts seem to be the same across the two distributions - I haven't tried the vtsingle font yet...
