I have built X11R4/patch 18 for my SPARCstation330 with CG9/gp2 
colour board under SunOS 4.1. As the MIT server does not support 
the CG9, I modified the Xsun server by applying Takahashi Naoto's 
Version 1.2 diffs (obtained from alw.nih.gov, 128.231.128.251). 
This upgrade allows the server to run on both the CG8 and CG9.
The server works fine under twm, but with XView 2.0 (olwm, 
cmdtool, etc) I get the following repeated errors:

XView warning: xv_rop: can't handle drawables of different depth
XView warning: xv_rop: xv_rop_internal failed

Under olwm, and starting up with a clock, a cmdtool, and filemgr,
everything starts up OK more or less with the following exceptions:
-the clock program has no face.
-various icon images (wastebasket, cmdtool, etc) blend in to the
 workspace background, i.e. are not visible.
-"drag-and-drop" doesn't work.
-probably others but I only tried it with clock, cmdtool, and filemgr.

Can any one out there help me?  Is anyone else using Takahashi Naoto's
MIT server changes with XView? Any pointers or suggestions would be
greatly appreciated (please send e-mail).
