Note that this file also references /usr/openwin/bin which you say you don't 
have.
Find where you have xdpyinfo installed on your system- should be in the same
directory that has xterm, xeyes, and other X applications.

You may have to add the "defdepth 8" to the configuration. But, we need to see 
the
output from xdpyinfo.
