[comp.windows.x] Porting X11R2 on Apollo.

awang@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA (Alice Wang) (05/26/88)

Is there anyone out there who has done a X11R2-Apollo port successfully ?

I have finished make and install successfully on Apollo , but I can not
start up the Xapollo server(note: I've tried both 9.6 and 9.7 and both failed).
The symptom is :
   A big gray background window with a X cursor was up after issue xinit 
   command, but the expected root window was never brought up, therefore, I
   have to abort the process.  

The command I typed is:
   xinit -- Xapollo -D1 d1 

Any info is appreciated.

	I am posting this using X11R2 on an Apollo right now.  I
did the following to get running:

% set path=($path /usr/bin/X11)
% rehash
% setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0
% xinit uwm -- Xapollo 0

	I am running under SR9.7 (9.6 doesn't seem to work for us),
DOMAIN/IX 9.5, and TCP/IP 3.0 (with Apollo's patches).  This works on
DN3000s, DN4000s, DN4XXs, DN5XXs, DN6XXs in both color and mono.
