We've had this same problem. We have some Sun 3/60's
on which the xtrek displays just fine and others on which we get
a BLACK BOX where the program is running but you can't  see anything.
We even had one Sun 3/60 that worked fine until we reloaded it with
Cadnetix CAE software and now it just produces a black box.
I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the Sun and not the X windows
environment since I can use the same setup (.Xdefaults, X0.hosts) files
and even the same executables via NFS mounts on machines that work and 
on those that fail. I've played around with the
/dev devices tring different combinations to no avail. 
Does anybody know the resolution to this problem?
