I have just installed Ultrix 4.3 on a DECstation 5000/200-PXG. When
this system ran 4.2A, the graphics screen/keyboard was also the
console. However, I now want to use an RS232 terminal (attached to
the left port) as console. This appears to work fine, with the
exception that I can get no display on the graphics screen. All the
relevant software is installed and is running OK (yes, I have checked
that the monitor is turned on). Anyone seen this before?
