I am trying to get X windows up on our Sun 3 Workstations. I have so far succeeded in getting it to run satisfactorily by making sure that Sunview is not running at the same time. However, there is (at least!) one problem remaining, which is that messages for the console get deposited in the middle of the screen. Is it possible to catch these messages, for example, as in Sunview by setting up a console window? Also, I would like to know if it is possible to run X windows with Sunview. The version of X windows is X11 R0 3. One other problem is that our server thinks all our screens are monochrome, but lets deal with one thing at a time!

Hello, My name is Calvin Cliff and I'm a programmer/analyst for the UCLA Dept of Astronomy and this is the second message I'm writting in reference to a problem I'm having running Xwindow R4 on our Sun 3/260 under OS 4.0.1. I'm not sure if my last mail message got through. This past weekend, I reinstalled Xwindows R4 and tried once again to get it working. It had been installed previously about 8 months ago and worked fine until two weeks ago. I used the xinit command and directly referenced the server file Xsun. I checked to make sure that the makefiles for the installation had the correct operating system Majorversion and Minorversion settings. It was installed exaltly the same way as before but it still doesn't work. The xinit -- /usr/bin/X11/Xsun :0 command only leaves the terminal in a hangup state. I check the /tmp/.X11-unix/X0= file to make sure that it exists. I tried deleting it and then do xinit again so that a new X0= file is created. I also tried to reboot the file server were Xwindows is installed and I have used ldconfig a couple of time. Have you ever had this problem before? Do I need to use config to rebuild my system configuration files? Are there any special device files that I should check to see that I have in order to run Xwindows? If you could provide any hints I would be very appreciative. Thanks very much. cal (cliff@trifid.astro.ucla.edu cliff::trifid (213) 206-8596 )

Hello,
My name is Calvin Cliff and I'm a programmer/analyst for the UCLA Dept of
Astronomy and this is the second message I'm writting in reference to a
problem I'm having running Xwindow R4 on our Sun 3/260 under OS 4.0.1. I'm
not sure if my last mail message got through.
This past weekend, I reinstalled Xwindows R4 and
tried once again to get it working. It had been installed previously about
8 months ago and worked fine until two weeks ago. I used the xinit command
and directly referenced the server file Xsun. I checked to make sure that
the makefiles for the installation had the correct operating system
Majorversion and Minorversion settings. It was installed exaltly the same
way as before but it still doesn't work. The xinit -- /usr/bin/X11/Xsun :0
command only leaves the terminal in a hangup state. I check the
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0= file to make sure that it exists. I tried deleting it
and then do xinit again so that a new X0= file is created. I also tried
to reboot the file server were Xwindows is installed and I have used
ldconfig a couple of time.
Have you ever had this problem before? Do I need to use config to rebuild
my system configuration files? Are there any special device files that I
should check to see that I have in order to run Xwindows? If you could
provide any hints I would be very appreciative. Thanks very much.

Do you have the file ~/.xinitrc ?
In this file you put the xclient that will run in your XSun.
Do you have the correct path to look for xterm if you don't use the file ~/.xinitrc ?
I hope that this help you
