[comp.windows.x] Help with X10.4 on a Sun

I'm trying to get v10.4 running on a sun 3/110 that uses an Hitachi
type HM-4119-S-AA-0 (whatever in the world that is) monitor.  The
sun server seems broke.  Here are all the nasty symptoms:
	1) the mouse is restricted to motion only in the 
	   left 1/8th of the screen;
	2) the cursor leaves a trail across the screen;
	3) small fonts, say, those less than 20 points large,
	   are drawn jammed up into the left 1/8th of the screen --
	   these fonts look much like (BUT ARE NOT) nil2, the font
	   used to draw xterm icons;
	4) large fonts are drawn exactly where they're supposed
	   to be, in the size they are supposed to be;
	5) dimmed menu items in xterm are drawn correctly, regardless
	   of font size -- xterm draws dimmed items by calling
	   XTileSet(), then XTextPad();
	6) any text, regardless of font size, can be drawn if it is
	   drawn in the manner that xterm uses to draw dimmed menu items;
	7) drawing functions, like those used in xtrek, work correctly;
	8) the cursor is drawn jammed up like the small fonts;
	9) both the cursor and small letters are drawn correctly if
	   either happens to intersect the right border of the screen.
Any help would be appreciated.
