McCalpin) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sgi Subject: X-windows Message-ID: Date: 15 Dec 89 12:43:39 GMT Sender: news@stat.fsu.edu Organization: Supercomputer Computations Research Institute Lines: 13 I am considering buying a 4D/25-turbo, and wondered what experiences people have had with X-windows on this box (or similar boxes). I have heard that the new machines have a faster raster chip which should help the X performance noticeably.... I want to run X so that I can get more software (NCAR graphics, NCSA XDS tools) and so that I can run the same system on remote X-windows terminals (NCD). Does the 3-D graphics system run well under X? -- John D. McCalpin - mccalpin@masig1.ocean.fsu.edu mccalpin@scri1.scri.fsu.edu mccalpin@delocn.udel.edu
