In theory, the PEX-SI supports all architectures.  This is because the
device-dependent layer of the PEX sample implementation (ddpex) is
layered on top of the device-dependent layer of core X (ddx).  This is
also why the PEX-SI isn't as fast as it could be; on the other hand it
is the least common denominator approach to the implementation.

E&S' X server supports PEX; other vendors that support PEX are: Sun
Microsytems, Hewlett Packard, DEC, IBM, Tektronix, ShoGraphics, and
NCD.

This would require you to have an SGI server that supports the PEX
extension.  I don't think SGI supports PEX yet, or provides it in the
servers that they release to their customers.
