        !             3: .SH NAME
        !             4: Xqvss - X window system QVSS implementation notes
        !             5: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             6: .PP
        !             7: The QVSS hardware in the DEC VS2 is monochrome.
        !             8: The usable size is 864 lines by 1024 pixels/line.
        !             9: (Under Utrix 1.1 the driver thinks the screen is 960
        !            10: pixels wide; to fix this for a VR260 monitor, patch
        !            11: the kernel variable qv_def_scrn to 2.).
        !            12: .PP
        !            13: Probably the most irritating problem with the QVSS hardware is the
        !            14: cursor support, which is limited to 16x16.
        !            15: As only ``and'' and ``or'' operations are available in the hardware,
        !            16: the driver inverts the cursor depending upon the pixels below
        !            17: the cursor.
        !            18: The server displays a reasonable cursor in most (but not all)
        !            19: circumstances.
        !            20: .PP
        !            21: Under Ultrix-32 release 1.1 and 4.2BSD,
        !            22: the window system will be slightly unreliable due
        !            23: to a kernel problem.
        !            24: Fixed in Ultrix32 release 1.2.
        !            25: Under Ultrix-32 1.1, your best bet is to use unix domain connections
        !            26: (unix:0 as host spec's) for local connections.

        !            33: The server also takes all of the standard server options (See X(8)

        !            35: .PP
        !            36: Performance needs to be better, but the server is usable; it
        !            37: uses the X11 portable monchrome framebuffer code.
