ok....this failed miserably once...let's see if the second try works. ----- News saved at 16 Mar 91 02:57:52 GMT In article <1991Mar13.114932.13648@eik.ii.uib.no> tl@cmi.no (tom lislegaard) writes: >I'm trying to compile X11r4 on a decstation 5000/200px, Ultrix4.1. >Compilation give no problems, but I can't make a working server.(The >server first gives a few complaints about `unaligned data access' before >it exits with a bus error. Similar concept in my case, but with a few minor changes. first, I'm trying to get the MIT X11R4 server to work on a VAXstation 3100 running Ultrix 4.1. second, I don't even get as far as Tom seems to get. The compile works fine (using gcc), but the server won't talk to the machine. As far as I know, I followed all the instructions per the READMEs, etc., with the X11R4 tape. Everything seemed very straightforward, and built with no problem. Then, I tried to modify /etc/ttys to use the new R4 server, instead of the R3 server. I tried using the DEC session manager (dxsession, or something like that) as well as xdm in combination with the new server. Neither seemed to work. I know from following the net that others have gotten real MIT X to work...I just need to know how. I'm probably missing some stupid, obvious point --- but the fact is, I'm missing something...... If anyone has any suggestions in this area, I'd **LOVE** to hear them! Please send any responses to my particular question via diret email. I often miss stuff that's posted here due to the evil expiration daemon beating me to them...... If there is sufficient interest, I'll post a summary to the net. Otherwise, if I get an answerr, and someone else mails me a request for that answer, I'll just email it to them. thanks in advance, Jim Graham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Share and Enjoy!
