[comp.windows.x.motif] Problems installing XR3/R4 & Motif 1.1 on Sun3's w/CG9

I am pulling my hair out trying to install X & Motif 1.1 on a system of Sun3's
with CG9 graphics cards.  Here are the problems I am having.

1. I would like to get XR4 to display in color.  I saw the patch for 24 bit
color that floated around a little while ago and had absolutely dismal
results in attempting to apply it.  I don't really need full 24 bit color,
8 bit would be fine.  All I can do is get it to display in is black and white.

2. Motif 1.1 compiles without a hitch.  However, when I run mwm, it core dumps
with a segmentation fault.  Yes, I have applied all the necessary patches.

3. I need to install XR3 to use DecWindows as a host for some machines.  Is
there an easier way to get XR4 to work with DecWindows?  This also relates to
problem #1, in that if I can't get XR3 to do color, its useless.

If you can be of ANY assistance, please mail me or give me a phone call.  My
number is 801-582-5847 ext.6369.

Thanks!
