[comp.unix.ultrix] X11R4 and VT1200 terminals

mconlon@holly.stat.ufl.edu (Mike Conlon) (01/18/91)

 We have recently brought up X11R4 on our DECstation 3100 under 
 Ultrix 4.1. We have a group of Xterminals, 1200's and 1000's and
 we would like their screens managed by xdm.
 
 We put entries in the Xservers file like:
 
 ilex:0 VT1200 foreign
 
 and sent a SIGHUP to xdm. It reset ilex's screen (went grey--
 everything was gone). The Xterm was locked solid. The error
 messages in xdm-errors are shown below. 
 
 error (pid 14887): Hung in XOpenDisplay(ilex:0), aborting
 error (pid 14887): server open failed for ilex:0, giving up
 
 What else needs to be done to get the X terminal ilex to accept the
 login screen and other X messages from the DECstation?
 
 Please mail to me and I will collect responses and post back 
 a summary.
