I haven't tried this on A/UX distribution of X11R4, but 
I thought the correct place to muck around with the server 
stuff was in .xserverrc.

On the suns, I have

X -auth $HOME/.Xauthority -zaphod -ld 4096

in my .xserverrc.

So this should probably work for A/UX.....

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$COLOR" != "" ]; then
	echo "Color X server..." > /dev/console
	X -screen 0 -depth 8
else
	echo "B/W X server..." > /dev/console
	X
fi
