The X11.R3 (and R2) server says that a Sun 4/260 with HiRes monitor has a
root window size of 1600x1280.

However, on three different sun4's here (that have HiRes monitors) the
screen height is really only about 1277 pixels.  Try bringing up a window
that starts at y=1264 and has a height of 16 with the text "yyggjj" in it.
You'll notice that the descenders get chopped off.

Interestingly, this problem doesn't seem to occur on our single sun3/260 HiRes.

Can someone at Sun shed some light on this?  I don't think it's a case of
the monitors being adjusted incorrectly since they are of differing ages.
