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.

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
