I am currently trying to install X11.3 on a VaxStation 2000 with a 4-bit plane color screen and running Ultrix 2.0. I have seen (and corrected) the following problems: o undefined symbol in <sys/utsname.h> o server/ddx/dec/qdss/NPLANESFILE contains '4', *not* '8'. o clients/xdm/Login.c expression for macro expansion of FAIL_Y has been simplified. I now have successfully performed 'make World' and 'make install'. However, when xinit is started, the screen clears, the cursor rotates a few times through the screen vertically (one line at a time), and then the system hangs. I did come across the following in server/ddx/dec/qdss/Xqdss.man: o DMA_BUFSIZ in /sys/data/qd_data.c *must* be 10 (it is currently 3072). I have the following questions for anyone who has had experience installing X11.3 with my configuration: o Does the kernel *absolutely* have to be rebuilt with DMA_BUFSIZ equal to 10? o If so, is there anything else which has to be changed to get X11.3 running? o Can someone who has done this installation post or E-mail me a script of the procedure they followed (with attendant problems and resolutions)? Thanks in advance. Reply to: psb@eecea.eece.ksu.edu or psb@eecea.UUCP or Post a reply here.
