It receives X10 protocol requests, converts them into X11 requests, and vice versa. We've used it for a little while here; it seems to work pretty well. We've run xrn and a few other x10 programs under X11 with it and had only minor difficulties, to wit: 1) the window manager (we use twm, but it might be the same for all X11 window managers) doesn't seem to realize that this thing exists. It can't be moved around the screen, etc. 2) the graphics are not sharp (of course, it's just an emulation of X10 on X11; perfection is not expected) 3) it's pretty slow (again, the cost of emulation) Other than that, we've found it very useful.
