What is needed to run X gracefully under Interactive? Can someone
please throw some light/wisdom on possible incompatibilities and/or
known bugs/limitations with the components I have. Please email 
your comments; I will summarize and post them later. 

On an ALR 33/486 we are running Interactive 386/ix 2.0.2, along with 
their X Windows 1.1 distribution ... and the performance sucks.

We have a Microsoft serial mouse and a high-performance Microfield
V8 graphics card on the system, ... but, the mouse drags are at a 
lag of 3-4 seconds behind!

I would like  to know what is the best known combination of components
if I were to go for a price independent choice of graphics card, 
machine etc., preferably with Interactive o.s
