Unfortunately, the version of Xstreams.[ch] included in X11R4 is a very out of date version that does not do networking properly. You will need to rewrite this and any other OS dependent parts. If you are using a VGA type display card, you should use the x386 server that has been discussed in this group. I understand that it works well, has decent performance, and is free. The MIT server will not work on a VGA type display without major rewrites of the display code, as the VGA is a bit-planar device. The sample server assumes a packed pixel frame buffer. -Israel Pinkas -- -------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The above are my personal opinions, and in no way represent the opinions of Intel Corporation.
