I need to use it on a Sun w/ a Parallax video card that only supports an
X11R4 server.

Good news / Bad news time.

Good news:  Andrew on the R5 tape works just fine with X11R4.  In fact,
there should still be defines buried in there for it to work with X11
all the way back to R2.

Bad news:  Andrew stresses portions of the X server that vendors never
bother to test.  I had bad experiences with the Parallax R3 server on
the IBM RT.  Perhaps Parallax has removed the bugs that Andrew found.

Good luck!
