I'm having troubles starting X11R4 on a Sun 3 running SunOS 4.0.3.
After typing startx or xinit, the server returns the following
messages:

Getting interface configuration: Operation not supported on socket
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Fatal server bug!
no screens found
/usr/userb/u1/henryc/.xserverrc: 16572 Abort - core dumped

I've created all the device files I could find, but the problem
persists.  I've applied all patches through patch 14.  Any ideas 
(via e-mail, I can't read it all :-)) would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Henry
