When was the last time you checked with HP?  Their X11 product (with most of
the performance problems and bugs already fixed) may already be out or is
due to ship any day.  I think it includes support for the displays associated
with the 319 (SRX and CH) no matter what 300 SPU you are using.  As far as
supporting all 24-bits on an SRX, I don't know that it does -- it probably
only supports 8 bits.  Most folk running X on an SRX have the X environment
in the overlay planes, and use Starbase to take advantage of the speed/color
of the 24-bit graphics functionality.
