	Hi, I've been trying to install X11 R4 on our network of
	Sun 3/50's and Sun Sparcstations.

	The problem is that the	server sees the vertical edge of the 
	root window as different from the true physical edge. It shifts
	the right edge over by about 3 inches.  I have applied patches
	up to 11, too, and they went in smoothly.

Make sure you build the server using the same revision of SunOS as you will be
running on the clients -- the header files which describe the frame buffer
structure changed when the SparcStation came out.  I'm not sure of the relation
between the various versions of SunOS, but I'd compare the various files in
/usr/include/sundev/ to see what's what.  If you were to build the server on
the sparcstation directly, I'd expect things would work just fine.
