I had a chance of playing with an AT&T 386 running UNIX 3.2 with AT&T's
version of X11, and something called attwin, their window manager.
This system had an EGA display. It works. At least with the local
servers included with the system.  You can open a few xterm windows
without killing the machine (4MB 20MHz) Of course you cannot pretend
your are in front of the real thing, there aren't enough pixels.
