Solaris provides a slightly revised man page as X11.
athena% man X11
X11(7) Special Files X11(7)
NAME
X11 - a portable, network-transparent window system
SYNOPSIS
There is no X11 command per se. This manual page is adapted
from the X manual page supplied with the MIT sample server
and is included with OpenWindows for reference.
The X Window System is a network transparent window system
developed at MIT which runs on a wide range of computing and
graphics machines.
The X Consortium requests that the following names be used
when referring to this software:
X
X Window System
X Version 11
X Window System, Version 11
X11

For Athena 7.7, we built the X distribution for the system packs. The
"X" man page came from that build. For Athena 8.0, we rely on the
native Solaris X clients in /usr/openwin. Since Solaris doesn't have
a man page for "X" (I don't know why), there isn't one on 8.0
sytstems.
