Being in japan, I do not have the security installed.  I have also not
bothered to install un-secr yet.  Still, I have never had any problems
compiling iwth the -lcrypt switch.

The stock X server runs in monochrome (not greyscale) because the kernel
support for color is limited to a few models (actually Nubus cards).  In
other words, whether you can use color X depends on the model of your Mac
and your video card.  I have a IIcx with a Nubus video card and I run X in
color (albeit rather slowly).  I also have a Centris 650 which is much
snappier than the IIcx, but only runs b/w X off of the internal video.

Anyone out theree, Does color support exist for the IIsi?

I should mention that some good people are hard at work egtting color X
running on the internal video of several Mac models.  So if you cannot run
color X on your IIsi now, it is only a matter of time before you can.
