The installation notes for Mach 2.5 mention that if you login as guest X windows should come up automatically. Well, when I login as guest, I get some sort of bind error and then the root window appears very quickly thus erasing the error before I can get a good look at what the error is. The next message that appears says that the process is waiting for the X server to respond. Some periods will appear on the screen as if it is waiting. After some time the same message appears and the whole waiting process begins again. I was under the impression that everything on the distribution tapes was setup so that X would run without any additional configuring. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what was the solution? Thanks, -bill

We've ported the X11R4 source (from MIT) to Mach 2.5 running on a Sun 3/160. We have not tried using the binaries provided by CMU. If anyone is interested in what you have to do to make X work on Mach, please send email and we'll send our notes. --Jeremy -- Jeremy Epstein UUCP: uunet!trwacs!epstein Trusted X Research Group Internet: epstein@trwacs.fp.trw.com TRW Systems Division Voice: +1 703/876-8776 Fairfax Virginia
