For people having trouble running Thomas Roell's X11R4 under ESIX:
Someone recently pointed out that I goofed when I left the Xconfig file
in /usr/bin/X11; it shouldn't be there. The file actually used by the
X server is /usr/lib/X11/config/X386/Xconfig. So, if you're just
editing the one in /usr/bin/X11, it won't be used. Sorry.
There is a -config option to use a different Xconfig file, as in
xinit -- -config testconfig -debug >& xerrors
will use testconfig as the config file; the -debug will output some
error messages, very useful for debugging. And since you won't see
the output, dump both stdout and stderr to a file. (>& in csh)
Information on configurations in in /usr/lib/X11/config/X386/Install
