HELP: X server won't start with monochrome monitor

	Greetings,
	I had a DECstation 3100 with a color monitor running
Ultrix-4.4. After I had to return this machine to Digital on a trade-in,
I decided to move these system disks to a DECstation 5000/240 with a
monochrome monitor. Before moving the disks I build a 5000 kernel. The
machine boots fine, but the X server won't start. /usr/adm/X0msgs
contains the re-occurring message:

start UWS V4.4 X server release 5000 Mon Feb 12 08:55:24 1996
couldn't open device

Does anyone know what device I am missing? The 5000 kernel config file
is given below. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
	Thanks,
	doug
