i am looking for some pointers on the best method of installing X11R4 on a DECstation which already has UWS 4.0 (X11R3). points needing mention: - UWS uses .pcf fonts, X uses .snf, so no font sharing - DECstations have no "console mode". if the :0 entry is removed from the /etc/ttys file, the machine hangs on startup. this is bad news if the X server has any problems. - the fix for the "illegal lhs" error in ./clients/xterm/main.c - any code for utilizing the 2d accellerator in a 5000 PX - a nice template file for imake thanks in advance. barry -- ~~~~~~~ ..walkin on the beaches, lookin at the peaches

We removed UWS altogether. As to the console mode, we have *two* potential
/etc/ttys files, one called /etc/ttys.X11, with the line
console "/etc/getty std.9600" vt100 off secure # console terminal
and one called /etc/ttys.noX11 with:
console "/etc/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure # console terminal
while the startup code in /etc/rc.local looks like:
if [ -f /usr/local/bin/X11/xdm -a -f /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config ]
then
cp /etc/ttys.X11 /etc/ttys
/usr/local/bin/X11/xdm -config /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config;
echo -n ' xdm' >/dev/console
else
cp /etc/ttys.noX11 /etc/ttys
fi
You can obviously refine this to allow for recovery if launching xdm fails, etc.muts@fysak.fys.ruu.nl (Peter Mutsaers) (04/25/91)

It doesn't hurt, [...] Yes it does hurt, at least on Xqdss displays. Having getty print a login banner on your console while X is trying to use the display causes all kinds of silly problems such as missing cursors, bad colour maps, garbled output, etc. You really do have to turn off the console on colour displays. -- -IAN!
