Version 11 is not out yet.  On Version 10, you can set up the workstation
to either use the foreground planes or the entire SRX graphics space.  You
can set up both implementations by making screen 0 be the full 24 SRX bits
and screen 1 be the 8 bit overlay, switching between the two with the DISPLAY
environment variable.  If you just want to do easier 3D stuff (no shading
or other nifty things) or 2D in an X window, there is a Starbase graphics
interface to X provided that works just fine.  Version 11 should be out
very soon for HP, but you need 6.1 (.2?) of HP-UX to run it, so the beta-
release I charmed my salesman out of could not be run.  I don't see why HP
should mess their X up now, so expect a very good implementation.  Now if I
can figure out how to make my background color stop being a random color...
