Sure X windows will run. There is the PGE product from UNISYS, or
I guess you could go some other route there.

The system is essentially an EISA PC (33 or 66MHz i486).

Currently the PS/2 mouse port driver is not supported, use a serial
mouse on COM1. Release 1.1.2 will introduce PS/2 mouse support.

Don't forget to use the ECU / SCU to add your video board. Note, the
EISA config file !VCW6000.CFG should cover well enough for most VGA
or SVGA controllers.

Regards and enjoy ....
