I have A/UX 2.0 working pretty well, and so was emboldened to try to install Apple's X Window System v11r3. No problems installing it, but: % X can't ioctl(): Invalid argument Fatal server bug! ioctl I_STR VIDEO_MAP_SLOT failed giving up xinit: Connection refused (errno 81): unable to connect to X server X seems to be claiming responsibility for the problem. Anyone from Apple out there who can address this problem? Anyone actually have X Windows working under 2.0? (A/UX and X are running off an Apple HD SC 80. Problem occurs on a IIx and on a IIci). -- Joel M Miller Internet: jmm@skivs.ski.org Smith-Kettlewell Institute Usenet: fernwood!skivs!jmm 2232 Webster St Bitnet: jmm%skivs.ski.org@fernwood.mpk.ca.us San Francisco, CA 94115 Voice: 415/561-1703 Fax: 415/561-1610

Recently, I complained that "X" said "can't ioctl()" and "Fatal server bug!" when I tried to start it up from the CommandShell. I am pleased to report that, after a few quick email exchanges with Ron Flax of Apple, the problem is solved. The problem was that I was shipped an old (pre-A/UX 2.0) version of X11 by Apple Developers Group, which version was intended to start-up from the CommandShell, whearas under A/UX 2.0, X11 must be started as a special Login Session Type. Ron gave me instructions on how to manually install an X Windows Login Session Type. -- Joel M Miller Internet: jmm@skivs.ski.org Smith-Kettlewell Institute Usenet: fernwood!skivs!jmm 2232 Webster St Bitnet: jmm%skivs.ski.org@fernwood.mpk.ca.us San Francisco, CA 94115 Voice: 415/561-1703 Fax: 415/561-1610
