Well, you can have an X server, but probably not what you were looking
for. There is no support for actual display hardware. The only server
I compiled was Xprt, though you could probably compile Xnest or Xvfb. I
suppose you could run Xprt and have a hardcopy X terminal or something.
:-)
BTW. As a matter of fact at this very moment I'm working on the QDSS
driver. This is going slowly because there's school and other things to
do.

It would probably also run Athena-4.3BSD.
