See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge X11R6 contains sources for a number of X servers from XFree86, Inc.: XF86_S3, XF86_Mach8, XF86_Mach32, XF86_8514, XF86_Mono, XF86_Bdm, XF86_SVGA, and XF86_VGA16. See xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86. Also included in R6 is Xsvga from SGCS and Thomas Roell; see xc/programs/Xserver/hw/svga. All of the above are Unix-based. X11R5 already provides a server to many 386/486 *Unixes* with support for many of the popular video graphics adapters; and for other non-MSDOS PCs you can obtain a server from these sources: XFree86 (formerly X386 1.2E) is an enhanced version of X386 1.2, which was distributed with X11R5; it includes many bug fixes, speed improvements, and other enhancements. Source for version 2.0 [10/93] is on ftp.x.org in contrib/XFree86 or ftp.physics.su.oz.au in /XFree86. In addition, binaries are on ftp.physics.su.oz.au, and ftp.win.tue.nl among other systems. Info: x386@physics.su.oz.au. Note: this package obsoletes Glenn Lai's Speedup patches for an enhanced X11R5 server for 386 UNIXes with ET4000 boards (SpeedUp.tar.Z on ftp.x.org). Metro Link Inc. (305-970-7353, sales@metrolink.com; in Europe contact ADNT, (33 1) 3956 5333) ships an implementation of X11R4 for the 386/486 Unix market. SGCS offers X386 Version 1.3, based on Thomas Roell's X11R5 two-headed server, in binary and source form. Information: 408-255-9665, info@sgcs.com. ISC, SCO, UHC, and other well-known operating-system vendors typically offer X servers. For MSDOS PCs: Daniel J. McCoy compiled a list of non-UNIX servers for PCs, Macs, and Amigas; it includes pricing information. The file is on ftp.x.org in contrib as XServers-NonUNIX.txt.Z; it dates from 4/93. X-Deep/32, for PCs running Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5+, includes an X Server, basic X11 clients and client libraries. A demo copy is at http://www.eden.com/~pexus/ and ftp://ftp.eden.com/pub/users/pexus/export/xdeep32.zip . Information: info@pexus.com. An article on PC X servers appears in the March 2, 1992 Open Systems Today. Also of possible use: Net-I from Programit (212-809-1707) enables communication among DOS, OS/2 and Unix machines and can be used to display PC sessions on your Unix X display. Tektronix has a product called WinDD which allows Windows "protocol" to display on an X display; see http://www.tek.com/Network_Displays/Products/windd.html .
