Has anyone ported the X.V11R3 client libraries and applications to the frightening world of IRIX? Is the code available? Does know if SGI has plans to support them (I'm not asking about an X server, we couldn't care less, we'd really use the thing as a compute server).

Now you can build both servers and libraries. 2) Ask your SGI rep for the "X special tape" which is basically the binaries produced from the above exercise along with #include files. 3) Get the "official" X11R3 release from SGI, which should be available Real Soon Now :-). -- Michael Toy

This makes patching much more painful. Maybe someone could update the file?

The file is a compress'ed tar archive, which unpacks to a directory which has a script which can apply all the diffs to a stock R3 tape automatically. Please mail me if you need more info. -- Michael Toy
