>Has anyone successfully built Xsun (patch level 18) for cgnine under
>SunOS 4.1?

The following individual:

TAKAHASHI Naoto
Doctoral Program in Engineering, University of Tsukuba
ntakahas@is.tsukuba.ac.jp

posted diffs to the mit X11R4 code to support the cg9 & cg8 (neither
the mit code nor SUN's openwindows 2.0 support this hardware).
The pathes were posted in October to comp.sources.x.

We have applied these diffs and build a server (p18) under SUNos 4.1 ad 4.1.1.
Things to to work pretty well.  Occassionaly the colors are messed up -
especially after someone runs suntools - and we have to do a clear_colormap
before starting X11.  Its rather slow (slower than a SS1 color, but faster 
than a 3/60 color).  It has the advantage of providing the two 'side-by-side'
screens (mono & color).


The patches are available anonymous ftp from alw.nih.gov (128.231.128.251)
in pub/cg9_cg8.tar.Z
