Apparently, SGI ships a development version of X windows which is purchased separately. Since X is public domain and has already been ported to many machines, it seems rather odd that SGI is charging $$$$ for something which is obtained for free on Sun, DEC and HP workstations. I am wondering if anyone else has already ported Xlib, etc, to the 4D's and if so, they can make their code patches available to other users.
