I was wondering if anybody has run X windows on a Unisys system.  We just
got in a new 6000/35 with lots and lots of disk and I am just aching to
fill it with something fun.  I am going to pop a VGA card in it and try
and make X386 run on it.  Does anybody see any problems I might have.. before
I have them?  I am just looking for opinions on the subject...  I have SVR4
and all the fun stuff..  X windows should work (just like any other 386/486 
box ..I hope... )

Cheers

Brian

If you have the SVR4 version of CTIX, then X and Motif
is included in the VAP-3 package.

We OEM our SNMP manager to Unisys and it's mostly
X applications

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 ....
