Alright, I know this has been asked before, but I didn't expect
this machine to be here so soon..

How does one build/acquire generic X11R4 for the machine and
OS stated in the Subject: ?

We just acquired a DECstation 5000/200 PXG (super mondo 24bit color
zbuffer 19monitor zowie).  We've had a couple of other decstations
for awhile and were... unsatistified with DECwindows.  So we built
X11R4 and we were happy.  But those machines are color DS3100's.
Apparently the DS5100 is much different because there's no chance
that the ddx code on tape-1 is going to work (there's header files
on the 3100's [Ultrix 3.5] that just don't exist in any form on
the new machine [Ultrix 4.1]).  Yes, we started the build with
a source tree patched to fix-18.

In any case, we'd like a plain ol' X server for this machine.
If it supports the 24-bit stuff that would be most excellent...

Thanks
