I am running X11R3 on a DN3000 under sr10 with only bsd4.3 loaded. Can
someone tell me how to start X on the console with out first running
dm then starting X?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's not clear whether you got X.V11R3 from ADUS and are running on SR10.1, or built it yourself on SR10.0. But in neither case can you do what you're asking. At SR10.2, the product version of X -- the Domain/X11 "share-mode" server, which will be bundled with base software -- has latent support for starting up X without the DM. Here's how (I realize that few of you have SR10.2 yet): 1 - touch /etc/daemons/xdm 2 - edit /etc/ttys and change the line console "/etc/dm_or_spm" apollo on secure # use mkcon to redirect console output -- to -- console "/etc/dm_or_spm -x" apollo on secure # use mkcon to redirect console output 3 - edit /usr/X11/lib/xdm/Xservers and be sure that this exact line is present: :0 secure /bin/nice --10 /etc/Xapollo -D1 s+r+ Then reboot. This should start up xdm as your authenticator. Be sure that your password has been set with an SR10 registry; xdm won't allow login from sr9.7- encrypted passwords. When MIT ships X.V11R4, currently planned for December, you will be able to build and run it on any "vanilla" SR10.1 or SR10.2 system; and there will be support for starting X without the DM. ____________________________________________________________ My opinions Keith Dawson Hewlett Packard Co. 508-256-0176 x5739 are my own.
