Open Desktop is based on X11, but it is supposed to be SCO UNIX System V/386
not SCO XENIX 386.

I have a nice shinny advertising glossy for SCO XSIGHT sitting right here,
and it says:

SCO Xsight System Requirements
Operating System: SCO XENIX 386 Release 2.3.1 (or later)


On the other hand, the same glossy also says:

The Santa Cruz Operations, Inc. reserves teh right to change or modify any
of the product or service specifications or features described herein
without notice.


Aren't you glad I cleared that up :-).
