In the process of installing x11r4 on a cluster of 
Sun 3 workstations, runing SunOS3.5, I ran into problems
where after starting up the x server, it dies after approximately
15 seconds, with an error saying that it can't open the frame
buffer.  The error messages are:

   Getting interface configuration: Operation not supported on socket
   sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
   sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
   sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device
   sunOpenFrameBuffer: Inappropriate ioctl for device

   Fatal server bug!
   no screens found
   IOT trap

Does anyone know what is wrong?  
Thanks in advance!
