   Has anyone out there run X on an SS-1.

Yes, in fact I am doing so right now.  I imported some binaries that I
made some months ago at OSU on 4.0.1 with gcc 1.34 (or so), and had
previously only been run on some 4/110Cs and a 4/360C (that one had an
extra hi-res mono, too).  The same server fired right up on this SS1 under
4.0.3c with a bwtwo0 with no problems at all.

The performance is impressive, even with just the MIT R3 sample server
plus Purdue 2.1 monochrome speedups.  I'm looking forward to X11/NeWS with
Sun's own performance work!
