The 7.0 xterm should work with the R4 server.  You might check the
permission of /usr/bin/X11/xterm.  It should be:

---s--x--x   1 root     bin       531932 Aug  4  1990 /usr/bin/X11/xterm

Also, the /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles file should contain a list of the
seats (displays) which are allowed to grab console output.  If yours
is a single head system, a single entry of

*

will work just fine. Be sure Xconsoles is readable.

If none of this works, I can send you the R4 xterm (but it really should
work)!
