At some point I became slightly obsessed with Xenix, and spent months trying to compile X11R4 from sources, all in vain [1]

Then I stumbled upon MGR, and soon I had a working windowing system. Quite impressive.

The only quirk being, since I was using a virtual machine instead of a 486 or so, I had to connect a serial mouse to my MacBook using a serial to USB adaptor, and then forward the mouse to the VM, as MGR did not have drivers for PS/2...
