John,

It seems that the problem is not xinit (mine is working fine---compiled using
GNU CC 1.37, fix level 14). The script file 

	mit/server/ddx/macII/X11R4.script

is broken. You need to edit the (third) line in which xinit (and XmacII) is
invoked to include the options "screen" and "depth". The file X11R4.script
is installed as /usr/local/bin/X11 and /usr/local/bin/X11R4 (the leading path
is whatever you selected). If you already installed X, you need to edit the
third line in both files to read something like:

xinit xterm -geometry 60x8+0+0 -sb -fn 6x10 -T "console" -e $HOME/.x11start --XmacII -logo -v -screen 0 -depth 8 $* > debug.log 2>&1

If you still experiment more problems, check file debug.log in the directory
where you started X (you need write permission or you'll get an error).

Enjoy!
