Description:	This is version 2.0 of Xsun24 (X11 server for Sun)
	It supports CG8, CG9 and CG12 in addition to all Suns which are
	supported by X11R4.
	    For a CG8 and a CG9, it provides two screens: a colour screen
	(screen 0, by default) and a monochrome screen (screen 1).  The screens
	toggle when the mouse cursor goes off the side edges.  On a CG12, the
	only 24 bit colour screen is available.
	    On a 24 bit colour machine, the colour side of the server can be
	either a TrueColor or a DirectColor visual, selectable at compile time.
	    A TrueColor server has a predefined but non-writable colormap. All
	16.7 million colours are ready to use, so it is suitable for
	displaying full colour images.
	    A DirectColor server has a writable colormap, but you have to
	allocate a new pixel whenever you use a new colour.  It seems that
	many clients are written for a PseudoColor server, i.e., they expect a
	writable colormap. So you have to use a DirectColor server for such
	clients (xfade is one of them.)
	    If the compilation is done on a machine which has a graphic
	accelerator (i.e. CG6, CG9, or CG12), the resulting server uses
	pixrect code in some routines to get the advantage of the hardware.
	Otherwise it treates the colour board as a dumb frame buffer.
