[comp.sys.dec] Do DECwindows 4.0 clients work under X11R4?

terry@sunquest.UUCP (Terry Friedrichsen) (09/10/90)

I have a DECstation 5000 on which I run the vanilla X11R4 release and the
vtwm window manager under Ultrix 4.0.  Everything seems to work OK (except
I can't log in on the console after booting - haven't figgered that one out
yet).

Experimentally, I tried to run some DECwindows clients supplied with Ultrix
4.0.  They all seem to die with a segmentation fault.  Does anyone know if
this is to be expected (I believe the DECwindows clients are still X11R3
based), or if there is some problem with my setup?  I don't think it is a
font problem; I can run the dx clients on another workstation and redirect
them to my display successfully.

AdTHANKSvance for any assistance.
