[comp.windows.x] X window under A/UX 1.1 - trouble using xterm!

lubkt@vax1.cc.lehigh.edu (01/16/90)

I am running X window (X11R3) on a mac II under A/UX 1.1.  Strangely, I
can never get xterm to work consistently. The terminal appears on the
screen and then disappears. I check the owner's and group id of xterm.
They are both set to ``root'' as mentioned in the release notes. I
created more pseudo terminals using MAKEDEV. It seems that A/UX does not
have MAKEDEV (at least not in version 1.1), so I copied the shell script
from SUN machine. I have plenty of pseudo terminals available, still
xterm dies. All other programs see to work alright (I can create more
that 10 emacs window, for e.g.). The pseudo terminals are setuid
``root'' and has group id ``sys''. Does any one has a clue what the
problem is?

Thanks in advance.
