+o The X Display PostScript extension is now working in
IRIX 5.3. Note that it is a prerequisite for the IRIS
Impressario product. If you wish to run Impressario on
your system, be sure to install:

Otherwise, _d_p_s__e_o_e is not required to run X.
+o If you are getting your password via NIS and the NIS
server fails, _x_l_o_c_k may crash. At that point, your
system is unlocked. A possible work-around is to keep
a copy of the password file on your local machine.
+o _x_s_t_d_c_m_a_p does not work properly, nor do the colormap
utilities in _l_i_b_X_m_u. The X server creates the standard
colormap properties by default at startup. They work
properly if not accessed through _l_i_b_X_m_u.
+o GL overlay windows are not clipped properly when
obscured by a window in the overlays.
+o _l_i_b_X_t assumes that time always moves forward. If you
turn the system clock backwards, applications built
with libXt will behave improperly and often consume too
much of the system CPU. You must stop and restart
these applications.
+o If a device is already grabbed, subsequent calls to
_X_S_e_t_D_e_v_i_c_e_V_a_l_u_a_t_o_r_s will hang the application.
+o The X server does not yet support the large request
mechanism. Protocol requests are limited to 64K words
(262,144 bytes) in length. This applies to the core X
protocol as well as to extension protocols such as PEX.
+o The MBX extension does not support the "Copied" update
action.
+o The PEX extension does not support texture mapping.
+o PEX applications should use _P_E_X_M_a_t_c_h_R_e_n_d_e_r_i_n_g_T_a_r_g_e_t_s to
determine which visual to use.
_P_E_X_M_a_t_c_h_R_e_n_d_e_r_i_n_g_T_a_r_g_e_t_s will only return TrueColor
visuals that support depth buffering. Applications
should not assume that the visual returned to match a
PEXBufferDrawable target type is the same visual that
would be returned to match a PEXWindowDrawable or
- 2 -
PEXPixmapDrawable target type. The returned visuals
will be different for those graphics platforms in which
the number of hardware framebuffer planes must be
divided for use between front and back buffers when
using hardware double buffering.
+o This message is for Indy users with the 14" monitor
installed. In order to comply with EN69241 part 3, the
font used for the terminal emulator window must be at
least as large as: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-140-
100-100-c-100-iso8859-1
+o Some Type1 fonts will not display properly with the X
server. This will be fixed in a future release. A
workaround for such fonts is to use the R6 font server,
which is shipped in the x_eoe image. See _m_a_n _x_f_s for
details on using the font server.
+o If a large number of man page sections have been
installed, the Sections pull-down menu in the man page
browser xman may not display all of the section names
properly. To work around this problem, add the
following line to ~/.Xdefaults: xman*SimpleMenu*Font:
-*-helvetica-bold-o-normal--11-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
+o With X authorization on, clients can still connect to
the display using shm:0, even if they are not
"authorized" to do so. As a workaround, you can disable
the use of the shared memory transport, by adding the
-_s_h_m_n_u_m_c_l_i_e_n_t_s _0 option to the X invocation in
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers (see the Xsgi man page).
