I already answered Gene via email, but thought there might be others out
there with similar problems.  The answer is that the HP R4 server
distributed by the MIT X Consortium does not support Starbase direct
hardware access.  The Starbase drivers require a set of server
extensions which are not included in the R4 MIT release.
