My basic problem is running X11 R4 on Vaxstation 2000 running
Ultrix 2.3.  I can find no indication that this is impossible,
but when I start the server I get Fatal server bug -- no screens
found.  I cannot upgrade the operating system because Ultrix versions
 > 2.3 won't configure for a 4MB machine (to my knowledge.)

Our objectives are rather humble -- we would like to use xtex, xdir,
and an X driver for the S statistical package.  We are forbidden
from these since we are locked in to X10.

Any suggestions or contacts you might have on getting R4 up in
this environment (qvss, ultrix 2.3, 4MB core) would be greatly
appreciated.  I have posted to xbugs but have heard nothing from
them.
