	I just compiled X11R2 on my RT PC.  It was not easy but the changes
were straight forward.  From previous correspondence I learned that R2 on
the RT has a lot of problems, does anyone know if the binary distributed on
the Feb2 tape is more or less reliable?  What was distributed was a stripped
version of X11R1, I got the x10tox11 protocal converter to work.  Switching
between 6155 and ega displays is still buggy but the bugs are slightly
different.  As far as I can tell R2 works much better than the R1 on the
binaries that came on the Feb2 release from IBM.  If you would like a
detailed explanation of how I got R2 up, send me mail, I will let the
requests pile up so please be patient.  The fixes I sent out a long time ago
were incorrect, I did not have the correct update to 4.3 then.  Remember, I
did get R2 up but the xperts say it's not perfect!  Well I think I'm going
to run R2 for now on, so much for IBM binaries!  Comments are welcome.....
