    are you using x instead of the dm then?  can you give me details
on how to get this as i prefer to see x rather than the dm?

    i thought when the system is booted, it will load in the dm
automagically (not automatically as i prefer the term "automatic"
to mean configurable as well).  so, is x running on top of the dm
on your node?  or did you exit from the dm and then invoke x from the
mnemonic debugger?  or have you reconfigure the bootup such that
x is loaded in instead of the default dm?

    thanks in advance.

Yes, I am using X instead of the DM.  There are two ways of doing this.
The first is to wait for Domain/X11 from Apollo.  This is shipping on
sr9.7 and should be out for sr10 soon (product announced, but no date
yet).  The other way is to get X11 from either ADUS or the X consortium
and set up /etc/ttys to start it by default.
