OS: Ultrix 2.0
C compiler: gcc 1.35
Machine: VaxStation II.

I haven't been able to get Xqvss to work:

I've had to re-compile qvss_io.c, oscolor.c, and access.c, with cc to
overcome various problems tied to using gcc 1.35 (I think).  These
problems included: -fpcc-struct-return wasn't working in oscolor.c;
qvss_io.c core dumped when trying to initialize the display.

Now, I'm getting very strange behavior from Xqvss.  It seems to start
fine - it stipples the window and brings up the right sort of cursor,
which tracks the mouse, but attempting to open any application on it
results in the X server exiting (or at least disappearing for a second
and then reappearing in a reset state).  The application (for example
xterm) gives the message: xterm: Error 15, errno 25: Not a typewriter.

Oh- the xterm is R4, too, and is running under a root id.

Anyone have any ideas what's doing this?  

Ben
