We have tried to compile Roell's first X-Window server on an i486 PC
running AT&T UNIX System V/386. The X server starts up fine and
responds to the mouse, but it doesn't communicate with the
clients. We have used STREAMS and not TCP/IP.

Could you please tell us how you have ported the server to
the SYS V Unix, and what sort of IPC (TCP/IP or STREAMS or other)
you use. Thanks a lot.
