I seem to be having a problem with starting the X server on a Sun 3/60
running SunOS 4.0 with a cgfour.
The binaries are being served via NFS, but no other machines served
thus seem to be suffering the same or similar problems as decribed
below.
After a reboot, the user noticed that the runx11 command no longer
preformed as expected. No big surprize, it's a script. I then killed
the two X:0 procs, then tried to start X with xinit. I got a server
process, and nothing happened. No messages, just a hung process.
In an attempt to get some idea of what was going on, I tried starting
X with xdm, in hopes of capturing the messages, and what I get is
error (pid 236): Hung in XOpenDisplay(:0), aborting
error (pid 236): server open failed for :0, giving up
and then the xdm process spawns, and two more messages appear.
Can anyone give me some clues as to what I should be looking for here?
I have rebooted, power-cycled, etc the machine several times.
Please respond directly to my account, as I don't regularly monitor
th{is|ese} group(s). Thanks.
