Hello, Netlanders I'am having some problems to get X11R4 running on a 386box with AT&T Unix System V Release 3.2 with a VGA screen attached. The X11R4 has been patched up to level 14 and the vga server which was posted several weeks ago in comp.sources.x is also included. When I start X with xdm I get a error. Spitting through the code I found the the open of the streams device went wrong, e.g. /dev/pts000 is linked to /dev/X/server.0. /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors: GetConnectionType(L) Calling CallLocalServer(unix) Found a vga with color display. Server linked Mon Sep 24 21:18:22 EDT 1990 by root on jupiter X Window System protocol version 11, revision 0 (vendor release 4) Using RT keyboard layout... No reply from the server. Cannot open /dev/X/server.0 XIO: Interrupted system call The code where the streams device will be opened. if ((fd = open (ptmx, O_RDWR)) < 0) { close (server); PRMSG("Cannot open %s\n", ptmx, 0); return(-1); } Questions: 1. what could cause this problem? 2. What does get connectiontype L means, is this correct? Thanks in advance and kind regards, -- ( ) Karl Lovink Philips Information Systems, Netherlands } @ @ { Department: Systems Support Optical Filing -- |___| -- UUCP: uunet!mcsun!philapd!idcapd!ofssrv!karl _/ \_ NET : karl@ofssrv.syssup.tds.philips.nl
