Most likely there's some factor here that I'm not seeing, but:
	I am running X on both the overlay planes and the image planes of
	a 98550, at the same time.  My /usr/lib/X11/X0screens file contains:

/dev/crt
/dev/ocrt

	and my start-up files begin:

DISPLAY=`hostname`:0.0 ; export DISPLAY
xinitcolormap -f .cmap
hpwm  -xrm Hpwm*configFile:.Iwmrc &

	and:

DISPLAY=`hostname`:0.1 ; export DISPLAY
hpwm -fg Wh -xrm Hpwm*client*font:8x13bold -xrm Hpwm*activeForeground:Bk \
     -bg dym -xrm Hpwm*menu*font:hp8.10x20b -xrm Hpwm*configFile:.Owmrc &

	respectively.  Wouldn't some variation on this work for you?  Or
	is there something here that the R4 server doesn't support?
