Recently, I complained that "X" said "can't ioctl()" and "Fatal server bug!"
when I tried to start it up from the CommandShell.

I am pleased to report that, after a few quick email exchanges with Ron Flax
of Apple, the problem is solved.  The problem was that I was shipped an
old (pre-A/UX 2.0) version of X11 by Apple Developers Group, which version
was intended to start-up from the CommandShell, whearas under A/UX 2.0, X11
must be started as a special Login Session Type.  Ron gave me instructions
on how to manually install an X Windows Login Session Type.
