As I've said before, I'm certain that X could be made to run under MiNT or MultiTOS; the only thing missing are people to do the port (I certainly don't have the time :-( ). The difficulty and the hardware required would be proprotionate, i.e. a straight port of the supplied sample server (say, the Sun 3 version) with only local connections (i.e. shared memory, no TCP/IP) would be relatively easy, but would probably require a TT with lots of memory to run. A re-written server could no doubt be made to run comfortably on a Mega STe, but this involves a lot more effort (as does adding TCP/IP support). Eric
