As I use both Suns and a DECstation, I'm starting to get confused going from twm/xinit to dxwm/dxsession. The dxwm/dxsession combination is okay, but I'd like to face the same environment on all of my systems, so I'd be happiest if I could run twm on the DECstation without dxsession. Alas, I can't seem to find a way to get console messages without the sessionManager window. Since ULTRIX doesn't seem to have the necessary ioctl to grab the console, "xterm -C" won't work%. Is there a contool-like X application for ULTRIX boxes? Or just a way to get dxterm or xterm to grab the console messages? Thanks, Kevin % In fact, xterm -C produces a interesting error message: xterm: bad command line option "-C" usage: xterm <blah blah> [-C] <blah blah> Seems like someone #ifdef'd the -C command line code without modifying the usage string. -- Kevin Lahey UUCP: ...gatech!uflorida!beach.cis.ufl.edu!kml University of Florida, CIS Internet: kml@mosquito.cis.ufl.edu X11 -- the Multics of windowing systems.
