The HP-UX 7.05 server is X11R4.  However, the libraries are still R3.  The
7.05 release was for the purpose of supporting new SPUs and display hardware.
This required a new X server, since display drivers are linked in.  The 
default operation of the X server is with bug compatibility mode on, to 
maintain compatibility with R3 behavior.

Not that I know of, since the VendorRelease function returns just that, a 
release number specific to the vendor.
