I have been using X386 1.0 with following parms on ProDesigner II and NEC
4D for a month or so with great results (large cheer for Thomas Roell).
There is VERY little flicker.

I, however, am having a real tussle getting the 1.1 version to compile/link
using ISC 2.2 and gcc 1.39. First the std include files for the system
have a lot of (seemingly incomplete) ifdefs for __STDC__ and __POSIX_SOURCE.
First I tried straight gcc which defines __STDC__. This craps out all over
the place. Then I tried adding _POSIX_SOURCE and -lcposix. This compiles
better but gets into trouble because it undefines the macros for things
like getc in stdio.h. Also there is no shared lib for -lcposix. I then
tried gcc -traditional but this dies all over the place in the X server
sources. So I went back to plain gcc and I hacked versions of the standard
include files... Now everything compiles but every time I try to link
with the new shared libraries when building the clients the loader complains
that there is problem with address space overlap in the NOLOAD sections.
CARAMBA. Anyone got a magic bullet for all this?
