X11R4 from wustl "can't ioctl(): Invalid argument"

*Whew*

So, I just spent nearly a lifetime grabbing stuff from that archive and
the one at afsg.apple.com (thanks guys!) -- 30Mb via FTP, uuencode,
mail -> uunet, uudecode, PC/NFS to PS/2, to floppies, through AFE in
MacOS, uncompressed in A/UX 2.0 ... there's gotta be a better way!

(By the way, AFE stuck a header on the files even though I used
"default translation") that I had to get rid of by doing

	% dd bs=282 skip=1

before I could uncompress ... whatta pain!  I tried "apropos file" and
"apropos such and such" looking for something that might be of help, like
"macbtounix(1)" or somesuch)

So, I followed all the directions of the README file, and I
double-clicked the X11 shell script, which brought up Commando and I
just clicked OK, and I get this error message:

	can't ioctl(): invalid argument

My main monitor is a Radius Pivot, which I thought was A/UX and X11R4
compatable.  Was I wrong?  Do I need the RadiusWare in the System
Folder of the launch partition?  (The control panel knows about it and
I use it for Command Shells and such).  I am running the latest
RadiusWare stuff that was posted recently by the folks at Radius.

Help?
