  13. I don't know all system calls used by the standard X Server (it's been a long
  14. time since I last installed one), but you'll probably have the most
  15. difficulties with the socket-related stuff (MiNT doesn't have sockets, yet).
  16. If you *really* want to do this, IMHO it would be easiest to replace the
  17. sockets by FIFOs; that way you could at least run clients on the ST.
