I'm not sure anyone has said this, so I will.

You can get the X11R5 distribution from MIT and compile the Xdec server.
Xdec will run on the machines with the HX graphics controller.
However, it will be noticeably slower.

We have one fellow here who just MUST run phigs, so he runs the Xdec server
'cause we're either too cheap or too principled to pay for the phigs H-kit.
(I really don't understand how one TK50 and some docs can cost so much :-)
