I have a Sun-4/260 with a color (cgtwo) and a monochrome (bwtwo)
frame buffer and cannot get them both to work from X11R3.
I have tried everything I can think of, but always get the same
result.

X Protocol Error: BadMatch, invalid parameter attributes
Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
Minor opcode of failed request:  0
Resource id in failed request:  0x8006d
Serial number of failed request:  31
Current serial number in output stream:  39

I have created the entries in /dev for cgtwo0 and bwtwo0.
It seems to me I should just be able to type:

xinit ; kbd_mode -a

and everything should work.  Instead I get the root window to come
up on each display and the cursor appears on the first display, but
then the first window never comes up.  I get the Protocol error message
instead.

Are there any patches for this?  What am I doing wrong?  Has anyone
ever gotten two or more screens to work using the Sun server in
X11R3.  The documentation says it should work... Please help!
