I've been pulling out my hair to build a runnable X11 R4 server 
from the mit distribution on a Sun3/260
(bwtwo framebuffer) with sunos 4.1.1.  When I try to start the server
with "xinit",  I get:

========================================================================

Getting interface configuration: Operation not supported on socket

SunOpenFrameBuffer: inappropriate ioctl for device


Fatal server bug!
no screens found

XIO: fatal IO error 32 (broken pipe on X server "(null)".
After 0 requests (0 known processed with 0 events remaining)
The connection was probably broken by server shutting down
or kill client

========================================================================

I've installed all 18 X11 R4 patches;  tried removing all unused
framebuffers in /dev (i.e. /dev/cg*) ; & tried using gcc 
among other stuff.

There seems to be multiple probs here.  The first error line seems to be
in
mit/server/os/4.2bsd/access.c.  The second in
mit/server/ddx/sun/sunInit.c.
I was able to solve the "SunOpenFrameBuffer" problem.
But idunno about the rest.  

Can anyone help?
