Now that IBM has announced and made available their 5080 terminal 
replacement (the 6090) and has made available a new release of their
graPHIGS software and a 'C' language cross compiler that allows someone
to download code to the 6090 graphics processors, has anyone thought
about implementing the X server on the 6090?

After reading the announcement papers and the fact that they already
have the X client support provided by their TCP/IP implementation,
I think an X server on the 6090 might be the next logical step.

Any thoughts?
