Hi,
I wanted to install AutoCAD 10.0 on a DECStation 2100. Besides other
requirements AutoCAD wants to have Ultrix OS Version 3.1 and DECWindows 2.1.
AutoCAD runs fine if I use any other X-Server than DEC's Xcfb (e.g. Sparc
with MIT X11R4, PC-XView from GSS, AIX-Windows PS/2, DEC's Xmfb).
If it runs on Xcfb, the drawing editor can be envoked, a drawing starts to
come up, but when menues are loades, the X-server crashes, monitor gets dark
and after some time X-server is restarted an I have to log in again.
This happens on the machine where AutoCad is installed and on other
Xcfb-systems.
So what am I doing wrong? I have trouble to detect what OS and WindowVersion
I am running. /etc/motd says DEC UWS 2.1 (as recommended) but the dms-utility
tells me that I have Ultrix 3.0 and UWS 2.1. My licence papers show that DEC
has Ultrix 3.1 installed. So, were can I authoritativly detect what version
of OS and DECWindows I run?
Thank you for your patience.
