[comp.windows.x] installing X11R2 on Sun - novice question

Sun 3/110 with cgfour monitor.  Vanilla X11R2 sources compiled and
installed with Sun macros.  Run xinit, screen goes gray with X cursor,
no xterm.  Cursor moves with mouse OK.  No way to do anything useful.
Type enough keys and keyboard overflows, X crashes, keyboard is hung.
Keyboard often fixable with "kbd_mode -a", though sometimes the console
gets logged out and the getty fails to open the console continuously.
Need to reboot in this case.  Doesn't matter whether xinit is run from
the console directly or from suntools.

Any suggestions?  Reply by mail unless you think it worth broadcasting
the answer.  Thanks!
