How can I get the Andrew distribution for X11R4? 

I don't know about problems unique to the Parallax video card, but
otherwise, about the only incompatibility you'll likely encounter in
running the X11R5 Andrew binaries (from the CD ROM distribution)  under
X11R4 is that the font format is different (pcf vs snf).  Source from
this latest distribution can be compiled and linked against either X11R5
or X11R4 libraries.  While in theory  you could get by in just building
the .snf fonts, this isn't really feasible because Andrew fonts are
scattered throughout the build tree.  Fortunately, though, Andrew in its
entirety builds easily from the X11R5 distribution on Sun platforms.
