Well, not that simple. It just didn't work. I change xinitrc and Xconfig
but no luck. So I compiled it myself. Mine works. I even tried to run these two
versions alternatively. Only mine works. I guess people who can not get the
binary from banjo/tsx11 work should try to compile themselves. Besides,
recompile it is not that difficult.

My Linux is 0.96c-p2 with DOSFS-alfa-6.
