XConnDis.c and XlibInt.c are the Xlib network interface routines
to the server. All communications to/from the server/client are
implemented using either Unix Domain Sockets, TCP, or DecNet.

For this you need Unix BSD 4.2, unless your System V makes other
provisions.

Without socket capabability, you are hurting.
