The next is the *worse* machine in the world to do Xwindows on.  (IMHO).  Your
better off going with something like the Sun ELC, or Sun Classic.  The reasons
for NeXT doing a bad job are fairly straightforward, first of all the mouse is
only two buttons, secondly the resolution of a NeXT is much less than a Sun
doing X.

My experiences are with the PD X implementation and Co-Xist

co-Xist3.0 screams on my NST and is a pleasure to use (well...err...
as pleasurable as X/Motif can get)

Happy Camper :-)
