I'm aware that there are bugs in the spx driver, e.g. it doesn't work as 
the console. But since the SPX-driver implements wsfb, and 
there is a wsfb-XServer (which in fact i am trying to get working), i am 
pretty sure, that there isn't much more work todo.

I suspect a DEC based X server is out of the question. As far i remember 
Ultrix had never a version for the 4000, and OpenVMS... well it works, but 
i don't think anyone has ever dared to think about something like 
COMPAT_VMS ;-)

Hmm, maybe i can provide some additional data, from the debugger?

Bye,
