Yes... depending.

We are set up to let users choose which window manager they like to work
  in; Motif (X-Windows), OpenWindows (X-Windows), or Sunview (Sun). 
  Consequently each uses a different combination of software and drivers.

We can send you the new code for the XDRIVER if you would like it.  I 
  could just wrap it in a mail file.
