We're working on a port here. Just started a few weeks ago. You're going
to need more than just a *.cf file. There is nothing in the MIT X distribution
that is specific to the DG hardware (mouse & keyboard drivers for example).
The main drive behind our X port is to have a windowing system for our BSD
port but we also plan to have a release that will run under DG/UX.

If there is anyone out there already working on this, I'd appreciate hearing
from you.
