I installed X11R3 from the MIT tapes, and I have two questions.  I have
A/UX 1.1.

1.  The man pages for XmacII state that "Color and multiple screens are 
supported under A/UX Release 1.1 and later."  The installation notes in 
server/ddx/macII/README state that "These Apple X11 drivers. . .support 
a single monochrome (1 bit deep) screen. . ."  I'm wondering which of 
these statements is correct.  I can't invoke XmacII with the -depth 8
option, so I assume it's the latter.  Is there any hope of color and/or
multiple screens on the Mac?

2.  I tried unsuccessfully to implement the "Purdue patches".  Could 
someone who succeeded in doing this outline the necessary changes to the
makefiles?
