SR10.3 still supports the X/Dm shared mode. I run Motif as my window manager
of choice, but I still leave the DM around to run applications like dspst
(anybody know a decent curses based replacement?), as well as Mentor Graphics
applications. I think its still based on X11R3 (?).

Its a fair bit faster, but still doesn't approach the DM. I think some of
the improvment is due to the speedups in TCP/IP perfomance. I have a 1280x1024
BW monitor. I guess the real perfomance gains were for the color X stuff.
If your running on a DN3000, I doubt you'll ever be able to see really fast X.
In general, X is now a viable alternative at SR10.3.
