No changes are need to the kernel for Ultrix-32 2.2 to run X11R2 on a GPX.  The
only change needed is to use the qd.o driver (found in /sys/BINARY.vax)
from V2.0 of Ultrix-32 on V2.2.

To run X11R2 on a GPX -

	Make a backup copy of the file /sys/BINARY.vax/qd.o

	copy the file /sys/BINARY.vax/qd.o from the V2.0 system into the
	directory /sys/BINARY.vax on the V2.2 system.

	Edit the configuration file for your system in /sys/conf on the
	V2.2 system to remove the references to {xos, XOS}

	Save a copy of the running kernel.  I mv'ed mine to /vmunix.x10

	Make config, etc. to rebuild the kernel in the normal manner.

	Boot the new kernel and bring up X.

The above steps took me 30 minutes (I was careful to save all of the
original files in case I messed something up along the way.  Of course
building and installing X took a little longer (6 hours).


This is the method I use to run X11R2 on my GPX.  Digital Equipemnt
