[comp.unix.ultrix] X11r4 on Ultrix 3.0

tmurphy@convex.com (Tom Murphy) (02/07/91)

I have compiled X11r4 on my VAXStation 2000 under Ultrix 3.0.  That worked
fine.  Now I am attempting to get it to work,  I have tried to run
xinit by hand and get the following error messages :

% cd /usr/bin/X11
% xinit

giving up.
xinit: Connections refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server

It is a monochrome machine so I have X -> Xqvss and I have 
/dev/X0 -> /tmp/.X11-unix/X0.

Does anyone have any hints?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree here.

Do I have to do anything special in /etc/ttys to setup the VR260?  I 
currently have the console on the tty port.

Thanks,

You need to run /usr/bin/X11/xdm to start the server.  On my systems I usually
stick this in the /etc/rc.local file.
