I have been having little luck with the Rice binaries, and I have a
megapel.  This may be because I do not have the latests revs of the
OS and TCP/IP.  I also do not have this rgb file or directory.

>      Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/site/X11R5/lib/X11/rgb'

so even though I have the links right, I get the message.  I tried
moving the the rgb stuff from a Sun to there, and that got the server
working for me-- although some colors are not quite right.

Could someone please tell me how I can get the right rgb files for
the megapel?

Anyway, xinit still says "killed" but I can get the server running
and use the thing as an X terminal.  But there are still problems.
For example, xterms that try to ring the bell (control-g) die.

I wish I knew more about X windows (do I really?...).  All I want is
to make the RT into an X terminal, but it's hard to set up!

Cheers and please let the net know of your successes with this.
