Hi,
 I am trying to get X11r3 to run on a VAxstation 2000 (actually 2, one color
and one mono), and I've had a few problems.  Any suggestions or help would
be of use.  Here's how things have gone.

Compiling problems:
 1) I got an error when attmepting to compile ./lib/Xmu/CvtStdSel.c
    It said that the preprocessor symbol SYS_NMLN in the file
    /usr/include/sys/utsname.h was not defined.  Well, I checked,
    and the modification note in the include file said that the
    symbol was defined in limits.h.  So, I just added an #ifndef
    to set it to the value in limits.h (which was 32).

 2) my comiler complained about running out of tree space in
    ./clients/xdm/Login.c on lines 203 and 242.  I figured this
    was due to the long preprocessor defined functions used in the calls
    to XDrawString at those points, and I corrected by stiking the values
    of FAIL_X and FAIL_Y in a couple of integer variables I created,
    and calling the functions with these variables.  I know it was risky
    to monkey with the code, but at this point, the whole thing compiled
    without error.

I then intalled the release on the color VAXstation here. Note I am running
Ultrix 2.2, and my machine is currently running X10.4

I then tryed to test the release.  At first I had trouble getting the darn
thing to not use the X10 programs that have the same names, but by manipulating
my path, I am sure I have tryed things out right.  I have attemted xinit
from both single and multiuser modes.  I have tryed removing the ttyv0 entries
in /etc/ttys and altering rc.local and rebooting. I have made a link between
X and Xqdss.   But...

At most I get a black screen with an X cursor that eventually hangs up.

At least, I get the response:

Neither a qdss nor a sg device
qdScreenInit: tlInit failed

Fatal server bug
no screens found

giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server.

(The later is what happens when I try to run xinit from the X10 terminal
 window)

I'm lost. Has anyone succesfully made the transition from X10r4 to X11r3
on a VAXstation 2000 under Ultrix 2.2 ?  Does anyone know what my problem
is.  All help is appreciated.



                                           Thanks,
                                             Rob.
