try simply changing the # of colors of your monitor in the MacOS "Monitors"
Control Panel from thousands of colors (or higher) to either B+W or 256
colors (i only have a 640x480 option. so try that if it's not working at a
higher resolution). I had this same problem, too. :-)
you might think "jeesh, who wants B+W?!". well, X11R6 doesn't run in any
other resolution other than B+W (1-bit) until a color one comes out :)
X11R6 isn't that much fun in B+W, or 640x480, anyway :) i keep mine set to
it, anyway...
hope this helps...
