Support of 1 bit visuals from SGI's X server.

There are some problems with alignment and drawing 1 bit deep visuals
that existed in 3.2 through 3.3.1 X servers. It is possible to
partially kludge around the problem by rewriting the Xlib routine you
are using. Not pretty. But in an emergency, I did this for XPutImage().
A much better option is to see if SGI can supply a fixed server. SGI
was aware of the problem when 3.3.1 came out. We don't have 3.3.2,
but a fixed server might have been included.
I think we're all looking forward to wonderful things in 4.0. Does
anyone know how X fares on the VGX? Is raster op performance better?
