I have recently run across some problems using X-Windows and a CASE tool called TeamWork on an HP9000/300. We have a 19" graphics terminal hooked up as the console, it is a 98786A, and everytime I attempt to start the tool, I get an error in the following form: hpterm: display "tseg:0.0" is not authorized to take cpontrol of /dev/console. The tseg is the name of the system , it is currently the only system on a small LAN. As of right now, the LAN is not functional. Could this dead LAN be a problem also? Is there a specific termcap entry needed by Windows to make this screen recognizable, and if so, what is it, could someone send it to me? If it something else, does anybody have a clue? Any possibilities will be gratefully accepted. Thanks for any help you may have. Thomas Hollowell -- "My uniform is leather, and my power is my age.

Most times this error message is given, the file /usr/lib/X11/Xconsoles doesn't exist or doesn't contain proper information. It should contain the a line with a '*' character. Please check it and try to start the program again. Note that the permission of the file must be 444 (read-only) and that owner and group are bin/bin. Although you wrote that the LAN isn't used now, be sure the LAN cable is terminated properly. Good luck and best regards, Rob Slotemaker, Dutch CRC
