	Here at the university, we have a network of MicroVAX 2000's running
X10.4, and a couple of standalone X11 machines.

	Heres the deal. I brought up a new workstation as a 10.4 server, and
then added X11 support, through a mess of nfs mounted directories and
symlinks, so in theory, the machine could be either X10 or X11 server by
changing the ttys file, the kernal a few other things.

	Everything seems to work, except that under X11, the cursor is a 
boring white rectangle (not square), and xsetroot has no effect. I've checked
everythingh that I can think of (/etc/ttys. /dev/mouse, /dev/smscreen, etc),
and it looks like the standalone X11 machine next-door, and I would suspect
hardware except that the cursor works fine under X10.

	Any ideas?
