I've got a 16MHz 6386 running SVR3.2 onto which I've tried to
add Xwindows 1.0.  The physical system has 4MB memory, 2 68MB
hard disks, Bell ACE 8 port serial board (int 11), 60 MB streaming
tape (int 8), VDC 750 video board and a 319 monitor.
Finally, I also just installed the bus mouse (int 5).  
Now, having said all that...while Xwindows (with Open Look)
installed flawlessly so far as I can tell, it doesn't work
very well.  To wit: it starts out fine, giving me the
login window...but at some indeterminate point after that, it
literally goes nuts!  WIndows begin to appear one after another, menus
come and go and I lose all ability to control ANYTHING!  I end
up logging onto a terminal, becoming root and killing everything
in sight.  My console terminal, however, is left in shambles and I
have to telinit 6 from the remote terminal to set things
right.  If anyone can help me, I'll be MOST appreciative.
I don't know if it's my inexperience with Xwindows, or some
more subtle flaw.  I'm running the latest version of ksh
if that matters.  Thanks for any help and/or light!
