I've been having the same problems (both problems).
To get imake to work, I tried to use cpp provided with X11R3 distribution,
but that didn't work either. Anyone know if Apollo fixed cpp for SR10??

The xterm problem is also a real pain. Maybe some knowlegeable should
post a fix for this problem. I'd sure appreciate it.

While we're at it, I have another problem with X (on Apollo SR9.7).
For both X11R2 and X11R3, there seem to be some limit on the number of
X client programs that can be running at same time. At most I can
invoke 9 clients (xterm, xclock, etc). I know that this has nothing to do
with /dev/*typ* because it doesn't matter if the client programs are
xterm or xclock. I can't get more then 9 clients running at a time.
(if I use a shell script to invoke Xapollo, the limit is reduced to
7 client programs). Anyone know what's going on?

Also, when I run xdm, I don't get the login prompt. In fact, X server
comes up and doesn't do anything. When I tried to exit Xserver, it
is temporarily kill, and then restarts again (I know, it's supposed to
do that) thus I am stuck with xdm that doesn't do anything (I had to
rlogin from some place else and kill xdm). I've compiled xdm without
any modification and all the default files were installed
(/usr/lib/X11/xdm/... ). What did I do wrong (what didn't I do [right])?

Thanks for any help you can give me....
