[comp.windows.x] Console output obscures work on Sun 3/60

Environment:  Sun 3/60, cgfour, SunOS4.0.1, X.V11R3 with fixes1-8, no
Purduism, using xdm to manage "Xsun -dev /dev/cgfour0"

We want the Sun to act like it only has a single 8-bit color screen.
It does that, but console output still comes to the display and in the
process creates a large white dead zone at the bottom of the screen
which is "in front of" the X stuff.  An X full-screen refresh has no
effect on the white zone.  How do we A) redirect console output and/or
B) get the trash to go away once it appears?
