I am running Andrew on a Sun 3/280, SunOS 4.1.
When I display on XV11R4 from a Sun workstation, all is wonderful.
However, when I use Silicon Graphics X server from a Personal Iris Turbo,
the mouse cursor is white! It is therefore not too useful.
The program I mostly use is "messages".
The cursor is also, generally wrong (one quarter of a clock face,
for example).

I copied the fonts from the Sun server.
Do I need to create different versions for the SGI?
Is there a problem because the Sun uses only colourmap mode,
whereas the SGI supports colourmap or RGB modes?

By the way, the text cursor in "sendmessage" is light grey, so ok.

Any hints greatly appreciated.

	Mark.
