With Edgar Schwan's X11-environment AmiCygnix (screenshots: 1,

it is possible to launch several Unix applications under AmigaOS. Most important changes in version 1.1:
- Support of programs compiled for GTK+ 2.24 and GTK+ 3.x.
- A new (experimental) display driver is included, which opens a X11 display in a workbench window.
- The X server and the display drivers were revised. The server can now be launched several times without problems.
- All new programs with an own directory in the AmiCygnix "Software" directory will have two start scripts: One for opening the application on the desktop (just like before) and a script, which opens the program in an own display. With a special version of the settings editor "myX11Setup" you can select the display driver and the window manager for every application, which is launched with the new start script.
- A new icon theme in AmgaOS 4.1 style is included.
- The workbench icons are now all in AmigaOS 4.1 style.
- Version 1.0 of AmiCygnix could not be installed on partitions formatted with the filesystem JXFS. This is now solved.
- Most of the programs and libraries used in this package were replaced by current versions.
AmiCygnix 1.1 can be copied over an existing installation of a previous version.
The distribution consists of two parts: The base archive AmiCygnix-Base and the tool collection AmiCygnix-Tools.
