I've been using X for over a year on my main machine a Sun 3/260 without any troubles at all. I'm using the standard relase 11R3 from Mit. After reading all of the README etc files I set the OS version in the Imake files and set the installation on its way. No errors occur during the the compilation process. Unfortunately when trying to invoke the server I get the stipple on the screen but the login xterm never appears, and the server dies almost immediately. No error message usually occurs, but sometimes it returnes "termtype = -1 Unsupported device" (or something like that). I've tried and checked all of the protections and things mentioned in the installation guide about things that might cause the login term to die. I tried exactly the same installation procedure on the Sun 3 as I used on the Sun 4 and it worked (and still works!!) fine. Hopefully, someone else may have had a similar problem which someone knows how to fix. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations which might fix this problem they would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.... -- Scott musman@radar.nrl.navy.mil
