The X server and some applications (X11R3, binaries and source) for
the 4D machines are available on request from SGI.  The server runs in
conjunction with 4Sight, so GL, X and NeWS applications can share the
screen.  The version we have still has some bugs in it but is pretty
usable.  

Unfortunately, the server only supports two display classes:
STATIC-COLOR and monochrome, which means no RGB or modifiable
colormaps.  Perhaps these will be added in a future release.  Does
anyone from SGI know?
