Three other people announced they had identical problems. I received two useful responses from Robert Scheifler and Mary Larson, thanks go to both of them. I haven't yet tried to rebuild my kernel, so I can't provide confirmation... ------------------------- Robert Scheifler's reply --------------------------- Date: Mon, 4 Apr 88 17:40 EDT From: Robert Scheifler I have heard that the vanilla drivers in 2.2 have bugs that cause problems with user-mode servers (as opposed to the kernel-based Ultrix X10 servers). You should be able to drop your 2.0 qd.o back in and things will work, or else beat on your DEC rep to get you a later driver (they do exist). ------------------------ portions of Mary Larson's reply -------------------- Date: Tue, 05 Apr 88 11:02:01 EDT From: larson@decvax.dec.com .... As one of the server implementors in Ultrix I do know of a problem with the Ultrix2.2 driver and X11. When the server recycles (ie. you kill the last client) the machine may hang. The only way to get to the console is by powering down the machine. If this is your problem, go back to the Ultrix2.0 driver (/usr/sys/BINARY.vax/qd.o) Once you put this qd.o in place, "cd /usr/sys/machinename" and "make loadvmunix", reboot with the new kernel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: converse@morgul.psc.edu Bitnet: converse@cpwpsca Snail: Donna Converse * Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center * Mellon Institute 4400 Fifth Avenue * Pittsburgh PA 15213 * 412-268-5126
