First off, for color support (at all!) you need to run A/UX 1.1 or newer.

The "sample" X server supplied in the MIT X11/R3 tape (and available for
anonymous FTP) will not support color.

The X server for sale by Apple does support color and multiple screens
(I'm using a MacII with a 19" mono and a 14" color screen right now).

The X server to be supplied in the MIT X11/R4 distribution will support color
and (I believe!) multiple displays.

I am currently running a mix of Apple and MIT software (I've kept their
X server and their version of twm (which handles multiple screens nicely,
but they screwed up their job control, so it leaves <defunct> process slots
laying arround) and run many of the applications from the MIT distribution.
