In a word, no.  I never managed to get the distributed (X10) version
running, never mind previewing documents.  Under the Beta release, my
X11 driver handled graphics and _large_ fonts (say 70 points or more,
such as the lettering in the raygun demo, and the beginning of the trees
demo) just fine.  Under X11R1, the driver is broken _entirely_ (no
screen output at all), and I've been working on other things, until I
regain some enthusiasm.  (X11 is gonna make a horse trainer out of me
yet...)
