I've seen in previous posts that someone has XV11R4 running under AIX on
a PS/2.  I've had less success.  If any of those people are listening....

When I type %xinit -- Xibm, the server outputs the message "Cannot open
/dev/tty to query device id" and then core dumps.  The error msg comes
from server/ddx/ibm/AIX/hftUtils.c: hftQueryCurrentDevice().

    if (hftQFD<0) {
	tempfd = open("/dev/tty",O_WRONLY);
	if (tempfd<0) {
	    ErrorF("Cannot open /dev/tty to query device id\n");
	    return 0;
	}
    }

crw-rw-rw 1 root	system	17,  0 Mar 14 08:50 /dev/tty
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root	system	883040 Mar 13 15:41 /usr/bin/X11/Xibm
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root	system	101111 Mar 13 12:46 /usr/bin/X11/xinit

Has anybody seen this problem before?
