  I am trying to run an xterm on a Sun 4 from my Sun 3/60 workstation. I am
  using Sun's OpenWindows 1.0 (beta2) X11/NeWS server and window manager.
  but I always get the following error:

  X Protocol error:  BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation
    Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
    Minor opcode of failed request:  0
    Resource id in failed request:  0x600016
    Serial number of failed request:  54
    Current serial number in output stream:  55

  Since I'm not too good at decoding these messages, anyone else want to try?
  Has anyone else experienced these problems? 

it sounds like you're using a scrollbar with an xterm that's earlier
than X11R3 patchlevel 3.  it attempts to set a bogus DoNotPropagate
mask when creating its scrollbar, and x11news catches and complains
about the error, so xterm dies.

a fixed xterm is in OpenWindows FCS, or patch you R3 version.  
(or just run w/o a scrollbar until you can get a fixed version.)
