I am having trouble getting X.V11R2 up and running on a Sun 3/160
which may come as a surprise to many people since it seems to be such an easy 
installation.  It compiles and installs without any errors. When I start it 
up, the server puts up the gray X background, and places the "X" mouse in 
the center of the screen just like it should.  Then it dies.  I get back
my unix prompt with keyboard locked.  The initial xterm console window
is never displayed on the screen.  No error messages are printed out to the
console.  The X server dumps core in my current directory that dbx says it
died in:

cfbPadPixmap(0x3) at 0x90a0
cfbChangeWindowAttributes(0x1c333c, 0x0) at 0xb11b
sunChangeWindowAttributes(0x1c333c, 0x4) at 0x3ff7
ChangeWindowAttributes(0x1c333c, 0x0, 0x1c16dc, 0x1c25c4) at 0x36e53
ProcChangeWindowAttributes(0x1c25c4) at 0x1f28b
Dispatch() at 0x1f0a5
main(0x2, 0xefffe68, 0xefffe74) at 0x2d4fd

I know that the server has gotten as far as invoking xterm by looking at 
lastcomm.  But xterm doesn't make it to actually being displayed on the screen.
I have tried substituting X.V11R1's xterm.  X.V11R1 xterm is displayed on the
screen, but it won't accept keyboard input.  I've applied patches 1-10
to X.V11R2, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Has anyone else out there had these problems compiling it on a Sun 3/160C
running SunOS Release 3.3?  The installation has been made so simple,
that it's really frustrating looking for a problem.  The only modification
that I make to the source is in ./util/imake.includes/Imake.tmpl to tell
it where to put the binaries, libraries, etc.  I do have some experience
in installing these things from X.V10R4 and X.V11R1.93 but I'm really stumped
with this one.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Dave Thompson
