I know my knowledge of system programming is not perfect, but I'm really
getting frustrated.

I had no problems installing X.V10R4 on a Sun 3/260 Color under 3.2.
 
First, let me be more specific: the machine is a Sun 3/160 with the COLOR
monitor. Op sys 3.4 is running on it. Device wise, it has bwtwo0 and
cgtwo0 (and console in addition to all the normal things.) We just set
this machine up last week, and the only thing we changed in the
configuation was MAXUSERS to 8 instead of 4 for larger system tables.
 
    WHAT I'VE ALREADY DONE:
	    0) applied all patches
	    1) made minor change to Sun.macros
		Specifically, I changed the man suffix to l instead of n
 		(we use local instead of new)
	    2) make Makefiles
	    3) make Makefile
	    4) make depend
	    5) per advice from David Stampf, changed servers/ddx/sun/Makefile
	       as follows...
		  change:    all:: $(OFILES) kbd_mode 
		      to:    all:: $(OFILES) kbd_mode $(OBJS)
		NOTE: Robert Scheifler has already responded that this is
                      incorrect, but I don't think this will affect the
 		      results. I also tried undoing this change by making clean
                      at that level and remaking: results were the same.
	6) make -k
		Everything was made without error except for GNUplot,
                which was expected.
	7) su root; make -k install
		This completed without error, except again for Gnuplot.
		I also added a link from /usr/bin/X 
		  to /usr/bin/Xsun, so that the server would be named X.
	8) I then logged in to the console and,
		a) added /usr/bin/X11 to my path
		b) added setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0 to .login
		c) logged out, and logged back in again.
	9) Now, from the console (not in SunWindows) I tried to start X
		I tried:
 			"xinit" (as recommended in ddx/sun/README)
			"Xsun &" ( as recommended in release notes)
			"xinit -- Xsun"
			"xinit -- Xsun 0" (the old way under X.V10R4)
			"X &"
  		
PROBLEM: 
   The screen darkens starting from the top of the screen, moving
slowly down the screen. It takes ~6 - 8 seconds for the screen to be
darkened! With X.V10R4, it happened almost instantaneously.
NEXT, NOTHING HAPPENS! No large X cursor, nothing. A ps from another
terminal shows (depending on how I start it) xinit and X as existing, but
in an "I" state. I wait for 5 minutes, and still nothing, so I then kill
the processes from another terminal.

HELP!
