If you can run the server and xterm from xinit, then my guess is that
your line in /etc/ttys is faulty in some way. What display are you specifying
for xterm? Better yet, send a copy of the appropriate line in /etc/ttys. 
Also, are you running Ultrix or some version of the Berkeley system?

Xcons came with our Ultrix 2.2 distribution (which is X10R4). I have not
seen a similar interface for X11R2. However, i would like to.
