Now I may be showing my ignorance wrt SCO, but most 386 unix X products 
start up the X display on a VT (i.e. not the console).  Switching the
VT to the console will enable you to see if any messages appeared there.

Of course, while you are looking at the console you can't see/access you 
X application, but at least it provides a mechanism that allows you 
to access the console.
