         Actually as I pointed out to you some time ago alan, the Xserver 
makes no difference.  Please check the FAQ on the TOG website if you still 
disbelieve me.  It is quite clear.  Under linux, OpenMotif can be freely 
used.  I do not understand why you keep trying to convince (ie: scare) 
others with this FUD, other than I guess you *really* dislike closed 
source drivers.  I do not believe the OP was interested in a religeous 
discussion.
