We have X11 server running on DG/UX 4.02. It is SVID compliant. We need to
port this X server to a 286 PC running DOS using our graphics controller
called "GDC". We probably have liberty to replace DOS with OS/2 or Xenix if
that makes the job significantly easier. We have public domain X server
code. I dont know much about X server. I am trying to find out what is 
involved. I am looking for the porting details. I understand that I may have
to port code dealing with tcp/ip, graphics device, the mouse, and the keyboard.
If some one already did this, that will be great! 
		Anyways, I am looking for X server porting details,
documentation on X server design, any other related material. Thanks a
million in advance.
