We ran some X11 clients on UMAX V 2.2f for a while and did run into
one or two minor problems although things essentially worked.  One
thing was that long running X sessions would eventually die off with
some error that I can't remember.  Another was that doing an ethernet
trace showed an apparent continuous stream of data going between an
idle emacs X client and the display server.  We didn't really delve
further into it and have since stopped runing UMAX V but had concluded
that the next logical step would be to recompile the X libraries on
the encore in order to get to a known state.
