I just installed the 4.1.1 release cd rom which included
openlook. On one client of the server, openwindows
comes up fine but on the other client, I get
the initial blue screen with openlook logo and then
it goes white and an error occurs stating:
/usr/openwin/bin/xinit: No such file or directory.
Can`t connect to an X server. When the blue screen goes
to white a small message is wisked by very fast. I managed
to figure out what it stated:
Process 0x1edd2 (unamed process) error ioerr
Stack {NeWS/Keyboard.ps} marker /keyboardtype
executing keyboard type
In Reading file NeWS/keyboard.ps
Sic transit gloria
Any assistance to rid this message and get openlook to work
would be much appreciated.

The jumper block is accessible under the left "foot" of the keyboard behind the door. Contact Sun for the correct setting, as I cannot remember what it is (and I'm at home, so I cannot check...)

I checked our SS1's and found that all the DIP switch settings (1-8) should be the same, in the down (toward the space bar) / ON / toward the little dots position. On our acting up host switch 8 was up/off. Hope this helps, Robert -- | Robert L.
