   I recently received operating system 6.5 for my 9000/350 SRX.
  This is also the first time that I have run X-windows on this machine.
  My problem is that my DOS coprocessor will not run when I am in X-windows.
  I have tried reinstalling and configuring the DOS coprocessor software
  but to no avail. The message I receive when trying to run dos.x is
  " Cannot open X display; this version of DOS runs only under X.
    Video initialization failed."
  This problem is exclusive to X-windows, when I run DOS from either
  HP 9000 windows or from the ksh (no windows) it works fine. My DOS 
  coprocessor software version is 2.0.
   Has anyone had a similar problem or know of a fix? My local HP office
  has shown some hostility toward helping me because I am one of those in
  that dreaded category of "material support only".
