Could somone please enlighten me on the status of X on Irises. There appears to be no server code for SGI machines under X11R4. Has this not been done? Has someone ported the R3 server and made the source publicly available? I assume the X that comes with Irix 3.2 is not a public domain port, is that true? Will R4 be available under 3.3 or do we need to wait for 3.4 for it to be part of the official release? Any answers, hints, allegations, rumors, etc. would be appreciated. I am trying to decide whether or not to invest major amounts of time into porting/bringing up servers and clients.

AMEN!! to Lonnie's question! There are lot's of us out here waiting to hear about xR4.... All my SUN colleagues are happily using R4. Is it o.k. to take the M.I.T distribution tape and load it on an Iris... I got the impression that that was not a good idea from SGI, and to wait...
