The mit dist?  Meaning, e.g., mit/server/ddx/macII?  If so, there is
a new X dist out, X11R6, that will be the focus of my efforts when
possible...

Actually, the main work will be in modifying the macII directory to look
at our console model (keyboard, video, mouse handling).  Mr. Grantham
has been making headway on a better adb system to get the mouse & kbd in
line.  There is ongoing work in getting the video part in line as well
(almost a complete redesign).  When that's ready and the current kernel
is working (w/ ethernet), I'll be working on X...
