I use locus computing X server, Xsight, release 2.0 on a gateway 2000 25mhz
running DOS 3.3, I have an ATI VGA 1024 video card and a 3Com 3c501(yes I know
only 8 bit). Xsight runs okay but is very slow (I'm used to a SUN 360s and
DECstations running X11R4). Since my video card has 512k memory I can create
a virtual window bigger than my actual screen size.

I only have two real problems with it.

1) There is no way to unload the locus TCP/IP drivers from memory without
   rebooting the computer. Since the computer is not a standalone X terminal
   this gets to be a pain because I have to switch autoexec.bat and config.sys
   files.

2) The version that I have does not specifically support my video card. If 
   it did I would get better results out of Xsight. Locus has not informed
   me as to whether there is a newer version that supports my video card.
