The 1.2 vi binary was a bit buggy. There is an update in one of the
patch sets on ftp.ph.kcl.ac.uk.

That just runs the X server. Try /usr/X11R6.1/bin/startx.
Note for X to work you will need to be root or you will need to do the
following:
chown root:wheel /usr/X11R6.1/bin/Xarm-27
chmod 4755 /usr/X11R6.1/bin/Xarm-27
to make the X server executable setuid root.
