X11 on Amiga
 

Hello,
Is there any X11 servers for the Amiga 500?
I would also like know if there are any X11 for any other amiga as well.

I am probably going to use terminal emulator anyways to get a connection between my RPi and A500 but X11 would be cool.

There are some X11 servers, try Aminet, but I seriously doubt you can get anything running with the resources available on an A500. Probably best stick with text.

If you just want a terminal, just use NComm.

Optionally if its over TCP/IP add telser.device

:( I did expect that.

Not to hijack your thread, but seeing this is about X11 on Amiga anyway.

Is there any X11 server for AmigaOS3 that runs rootless?

Xami seems to only open its own screen or run in a window.

IIRC Dale "Wizard" Luck wrote one.

Yes, it was sold by (his company?) GfxBase, Inc. There's a review at ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/amiga/text/GfxBase-X.txt
It mentions the minimum requirement just being 1MB RAM.

GfxBase also produced the GDA-1 framebuffer card which their X server supported.

Does anyone have a copy of the GfxBase X software?

X11 on a dumb framebuffer card over Zorro2, paaaaiiiiin :-)

As long as GfxBase doesn't require anything more than a 68000, I would be happy.

I've used Xami before on the Amiga, but not on an a500. Performance is going to be horrible for sure - if there is even a 68000 build that doesn't require a gfxcard.

worked quite well on an 060 + gfxcard though

I'll give it a swing, bummer it doesnt do rootless

I just quickly setup Xami and also Holgar Kruse's AmiWin.

So far it seems as if AmiWin is *massively* faster, solid moving a window is actually quite smooth on it. Xami can be very slow.
