I don't know about R6, but I think you should be able to get PHIGS in a
mono server by running the R5 Xamiga+retina server with the -mono switch:
xinit -- -mono
Hmmm, well I tried it, but got line after line of "PHIGS error 3"
messages. The same server in Retina mode worked fine, if a bit
slowly. I don't know -- this is too much for my puny brain to
comprehend.
The phigsmon crash was due to a kernel bug months and months ago.
