I have X11R4 for A/UX 2.x and am having difficulty getting it to automatically
come up in color.  The "Getting Started..." manual suggests a file by the
name of .X11 to change the default "X" command to something like:

X -screen 0 -depth 8

From the console emulator I can type this in and it works, so I have that
as my default login and I've aliased X to that, but I would like to know
what others are doing about this.

On other fronts, what hooks does X have in it for screen savers?  I'm growing
quite board with the default X and blanker screen savers.  'Twould be nice
to have flying toasters...
