i am looking for some pointers on the best method of installing X11R4 on
a DECstation which already has UWS 4.0 (X11R3).
points needing mention:
- UWS uses .pcf fonts, X uses .snf, so no font sharing
- DECstations have no "console mode". if the :0 entry is removed from the
/etc/ttys file, the machine hangs on startup. this is bad news if the X
server has any problems.
- the fix for the "illegal lhs" error in ./clients/xterm/main.c
- any code for utilizing the 2d accellerator in a 5000 PX
- a nice template file for imake
thanks in advance.
