I've just finished installing X2.1 (X11) for AIX.  I'm trying to get it to
peacefully coexist with X10 (I can already hear the laughter ;-).

I've had a few problems, but for the most part things seem to work ok.  It
seems however, that X11 breaks the vtsingle font (maybe others that I
haven't found) for X10.  Rom10.500, etc work with both versions.

Has anyone else noticed this or other strange behavior?

X2.1 and X1.1 (X10) seems to have been designed to coexist.  Except for the 
fonts and several (5 or 6) shell scripts, the two distributions are contained 
in separate libraries (X1.1 files are usually in directories names X and
X2.1 files are usually in directories named X11).  The X2.1 versions of
shell scripts such as xinit and aixwm contain code which allow the scripts
to invoke X10 whenever an -X10 flag is used (e.g. xinit -X10).  The way
to make sure that you have the X2.1 shell scripts is to install X2.1 
after X1.1.  Most of the fonts seem to be the same across the two 
distributions - I haven't tried the vtsingle font yet...
