I have some questions about using it with X11. 1. I'm told it is an X11R3 server that uses the X11R4 protocol - true? 2. I tried compiling twm from X11R3. It apparently compiled fine, but my keystrokes never got to the application (but the border highlighting did follow the pointer). What have I done wrong? 3. If I want to bring up X11R4 from MIT so I can compile and run nice applications not shipped with the DS. a) Can I use the R4 server, and is it fast? b) Can I use the DEC server with R4 clients? c) Any useful hints for the mechanics of doing this type of mixing.
