This version of the IBM X11 driver uses ../mi,  ../mfb and ../cfb to support
the following configuration:

	RISC System 6000 with skyway adapter (8 bit color adapter)

All other configurations will NOT work! However the release 5 clients 
and libraries should build and run on other RISC System 6000 platforms.
It should also be noted that this version of the X server does NOT support 
the AIX X extensions, such as Display PostScript (*) or GL.

This version of the server does not use the same font format as AIXWindows 
does, and you may run into some inconsistencies with applications which
expect AIXWindows fonts (especially InfoExplorer).

The code supplied with this release, while it has been tested with the skyway  
adapter, is completely unsupported, and if you have problems installing or
using it you are on your own. You may find, in your particular 
environment, the performance of this server is different from that of
the AIX product server.  If the performance in your environment is 
not acceptable, then you should stick with the product level of the 
server. The performance of this server is not indicative of the performance
of the AIX product level server.

Things to check before building:

1)	Decide if you want to build the server. If not, change the line
	in config/ibm.cf from:
	#define BuildServer             YES
		to 
	#define BuildServer             NO

2)	Decide if you want the PEX extension to the server.
	If you do not, then add this line to config/ibm.cf:
	#define BuildPex                NO

2)	The existing configuration will install the shared libraries and 
	executables under the /usr/local tree, to avoid clobbering
	existing product level executables. It is strongly suggested that you 
	keep both the AIX product level of X and the release 5 level.

Building the system:

1)	Go for it.  In the top-level directory, type

	make World

	This takes quite a long time because of the optimization that 
	will be performed.

2)	After the complete system build, you can install the shared 
	libraries and executables by becoming superuser (chown is 
	restricted to superuser!), and typing:

	make install

	Otherwise, you'll want to create a bunch of symbolic links to
	the various executables and data files scattered throughout
	the hierarchy.


3)	On the console, put whatever you chose for BINDIR (in ibm.cf)
	in your search path before the /usr/bin/X11 directory, and then 
	start the server:

	    xinit

4)	xinit should start up an xterm window that acts as a console.  When
	this xterm terminates, the xinit will kill the server.  You can also
	start up client programs from a terminal or rlogin, but you must
	first set the DISPLAY environment variable:

	    setenv DISPLAY unix:0
	    xterm &


5)	To shut the server down,  press the Ctrl, Alt and Backspace keys 
	at the same time, or kill the last program started by your .xinitrc
	file.
