If any of you folks have had this problem mabey you can help me.
I have just installed 2.2.1 bos on a rt pc 125. Everthing seems to
work fine except x-windows. Here is what happens . The devices command
has allowed me to create ptys numbered pts0 thru pts13. Showall list
the ptys in that manner, pts0...pts3..pts13 etc. However it also shows
0's in the port, slot , IODN columns. This has led me to believe that
they do not have a location in the file system. 

If I issue xinit, X-windows will allow me to open 12
windows and then no more. When exiting X there is a message on the
screen saying no ptys were available. If I loggout and log back in
the
devices command shows all 12 ptys, but x will not open a window and on
exit the message is "no ptys were available". I cain't find out the
problem. I am a novice... but have RTFM many many times . Help please
Thanks.
