bob@osu-eddie.UUCP (02/03/87)
From: Bob Sutterfield <bob>
Environment: diskless Sun 2/120, Sun UNIX 3.0
Xv10r4 distribution from zap.mit.edu + updates of Dec 24
environment variable DISPLAY=ford:0 (local host)
In X/Makefile, NETOPTIONS= -DTCPCONN -DDUALTCP -DUNIXCONN
Upon invoking xinit from csh as root, the cursor comes alive
(Sun-style arrow, not X-style X) until I am given the message `fatal
error: ? at No Listeners', then a complaint from xterm not being able
to find the display server unix:0.
If I invoke xinit from csh as a non-root mortal, I am told `fatal
error: Permission denied at No Listeners', and then xterm complains.
If I invoke `Xsun /dev/fb 0' I get the same fatal error in each case,
but I don't hear from xterm.
This is obviously a simple configuration problem, but as we're just
starting out with X, it has me pretty well befuddled. Any
suggestions? Thanks very much for the help.
