Hello,

My name is Calvin Cliff and I'm a programmer/analyst for the UCLA Dept of
Astronomy and this is the second message I'm writting in reference to a
problem I'm having running Xwindow R4 on our Sun 3/260 under OS 4.0.1.  I'm
not sure if my last mail message got through.
  This past weekend, I reinstalled Xwindows R4 and
tried once again to get it working.  It had been installed previously about
8 months ago and worked fine until two weeks ago.  I used the xinit command
and directly referenced the server file Xsun.  I checked to make sure that
the makefiles for the installation had the correct operating system
Majorversion and Minorversion settings.  It was installed exaltly the same
way as before but it still doesn't work.  The xinit -- /usr/bin/X11/Xsun :0
command only leaves the terminal in a hangup state.  I check the
/tmp/.X11-unix/X0= file to make sure that it exists.  I tried deleting it
and then do xinit again so that a new X0= file is created.  I also tried
to reboot the file server were Xwindows is installed and I have used
ldconfig a couple of time.
  Have you ever had this problem before?  Do I need to use config to rebuild
my system configuration files?  Are there any special device files that I
should check to see that I have in order to run Xwindows?  If you could
provide any hints I would be very appreciative.  Thanks very much.

cal
