Just to add something on the Xsgi part. Miguel got Xsgi to a point where it was starting without being very useful (e.g. no functioning mouse) and went to work on much more important stuff (GNOME) where he made a much bigger impact on the future of Linux as a whole. Miguel did an amazing job considering that he practically reverse engineered everything. So the short answer is: No. We don't have X on Indy/Linux yet. -- Peace, Ariel
