I couldn't find this one in the FAQ's, so here goes. . .

I'm trying to build X on my SS1.  Everything seems to work,
'cept that I can't type into any of the windows!  Here's what
I did:
o	read the tapes into a personal directory

o	changed the DestDir:
	#define DestDir /home/ups1/a/rpeck/Bigdisk/X/sun/install

o	changed to no-shared-libs (didn't know about fixing ld.so
	with ldconfig at the time)

o	added the include dirs to StandardCppDefines:
	#define StandardCppDefines \
	-I/home/ups2/j/cobra/rpeck/X/sun/mit/include \
	-I/home/ups2/j/cobra/rpeck/X/sun/mit/server/include

o	did make World >& make_world_msgs ; \
	make install >& make_install_msgs

Now, when I do xinit with stolen .X11init   .Xdefaults   .xinitrc,
several xterms come up, along with an xclock and an oclock. twm
works, and I can move/resize/etc.  The xterms are listening:
I can rlogin from another host and cat foo > /dev/console or
cat foo > /dev/ptty1 and see the text on the screen. But. . .

I can't *type*!!  (Actually, I can type and nothing happens).

Any clues?
