This is to be expected.  There is not yet any color support for
quadra internal video.

How are you trying to start the xterms(e.g. mouse menus or direct invocation
from the command line of an already open xterm).  Do you get any error
messages??  There should be error messages returned to you, particularly
if you invoke from the command line.  Are you trying to pass any options
to the xterm command, other than just doing a "xterm &"??  You might also
check your "DISPLAY" environment variable.  It should have been set
automagically when you invoked the X environment, but if you copied your
.cshrc, etc. files from another machine, you may be resetting it incorrectly=
.

Another note is that X11R6 uses xauthority, so, if you su to another user,
you don't have the "magic cookie" to allow you to open new X apps on the
already open X environment.  I somehow doubt this is the case, though.

Sorry, I don't have a multisync monitor, so I can't really help you with
this one.

The patches introduced in GENERIC 16 and 17 are known to hang both the
Q610 and the Q700, and possibly others.
