| After a long development break, new versions of the basic packages for the Unix environment "AmiCygnix" were released. In the main, bugs have been fixed which prevented the proper function of the X server on new Amiga systems. New in AmiCygnix-Base: * All display drivers and the X server binary were revised to fix the following problems: - With newer graphics cards like the Radeon HD 7xxx the colours of the display were wrong. Fixed with the standard drivers and the rest for the most part. - Since AmigaOS 4.1 final Update 1 it came to program crashes, if the graphic driver picasso96clonewbdb was used. Is fixed now. * The display driver picasso96clonewbdb can now also open 32 bit screens internally, however, the data is still processed in 16 bits. * The print command "lpr" now supports the printout via Turboprint whereby the print quality is increased. * Updated SSL support over OpenSSL and GnuTLS. The included Trusted Certificates have been updated. * Many more improvements and bug fixes. New in AmiCygnix-Tools: * The browser NetSurf has been relinked with OpenSSl 1.01o. Many SSL keyed pages could not be opened anymore. The problem is now largely eliminated. * Current versions of the image viewer GPicView and the GTK+ 2.0 toolkit adjuster LXAppearance.

Ah you're not the developer? Do you know who is?
Couple of questions - can the X server be used to host applications running on a remote Linux machine?
Thanks @smf but does that mean you could run Firefox for example, by running Firefox on the linux host redirected to the X server on OS4?In principle: Yes. But don't expect it to be very performant.
since Timberwolf stopped working for me since Update 1 came out for FEI have the same machine and the same OS, but here Timberwolf works (with pre-requisites, though...).
