I am running the Xsun server with the Purdue speedups on a color 3/60 
with the option "-dev /dev/cgfour0".  As X comes up, I occasionally get
messages on the console before I get a console xterm started up.  These
appear on the b/w overlay plane and I cannot get rid of them by redrawing
the X-window screen.  Is there any easy way to clear this overlay
plane without clearing the color planes?  Thanks.

The command
	switcher -d /dev/fb -e 0

will initialize the overlay plan so that only the color screen shows through.
