[comp.windows.x] uwm doesn't seem to work under SunOS-4.0

I'm hoping this is a known problem with a known solution....

I'm working on X V11R2 on a Sun-4 running SunOS-4.0.  There seems to be
something wrong with the 'select' function of the OS.  When I run 'uwm'
all I get is a beep and nothing else.  When I examine the stack through
dbx, the last call (where it seems to be stuck) is to select.  The program
continues to run, but nothing actually happens.  I had this same behaviour
when running 'xconq v5', with the same select call.

The readme in servers/ddx/sun mentioned that the server was known to work
under SunOS-4.0.  The file also stated that this would not work with the
/dev/cg2 driver.  Well, guess what I'm using!  Could this be a source of
my problem?  Many things do work, including xterm, puzzle, wm, and clock.

I have installed fixes 1-33.

Help!
