** Please Forgive me if this is a duplicate, my postnews is acting up ** 

I am currently running Interactive's X11R3 Ver 1.0 development package.
I have obtained Thomas Roell's X-server code patches and X11R4 source.  I have
it built, (correctly I think, with gcc).  I have a Paradise 1024 VGA 
card with 512K RAM.  I know Thomas states that the Paradise isn't working 
correctly.  And yes I know the Paradise only supports 16 colors, 
at 800x600 and 1024x768.  What I want to know is: 

 1. How can I get a working X11R4 up, using the MIT source?  Hey, I will settle
    for 800x600 or even lower rez (gasp!!!). 

 2. What's wrong with the Paradise driver?  I'd be willing to work on it.   

 3. What's Thomas Roell's address?  The one in his copyright isn't in the 
    maps.  

 My setup is:

 33Mhz Micronics 64 Cache 386
 12MB Ram
 Paradise 1024 w/512K RAM
 Panasync C1381 VGA Monitor
 380MB SCSI Disk Space 
 Archive 2150S SCSI Tape
 ACB 1542A SCSI Controller
 AST 4 Port w/16550's and FAS
 

Thanks.

Paul
