I have fetched and compiled T.Roell's X11R4 and J. Kelly's patches for SCO
Unix without any problems. However, when I try to start the server I only get
about 10 rows of the X background crosshatch and the rest of the screen has
a random mess of dots. When this happens the server doesn't appear to work
and I can't exit (using ctrl-alt-BS) and must go to another screen and manually
reset the video mode using vidi.

I am running SCO Unix 3.2.0, a Tseng Labs Mega-Eva VGA card (contains an ET4000)
and used gcc1.37.1 to compile everything.

xinit says something about waiting to contact server and then cannot connect to
server.

Any ideas?

	Thanks, dmh
