If any of you folks have had this problem mabey you can help me. I have just installed 2.2.1 bos on a rt pc 125. Everthing seems to work fine except x-windows. Here is what happens . The devices command has allowed me to create ptys numbered pts0 thru pts13. Showall list the ptys in that manner, pts0...pts3..pts13 etc. However it also shows 0's in the port, slot , IODN columns. This has led me to believe that they do not have a location in the file system. If I issue xinit, X-windows will allow me to open 12 windows and then no more. When exiting X there is a message on the screen saying no ptys were available. If I loggout and log back in the devices command shows all 12 ptys, but x will not open a window and on exit the message is "no ptys were available". I cain't find out the problem. I am a novice... but have RTFM many many times . Help please Thanks. Eg

That means that if you have 12 pty's, you have 12 login sessions (they are not really logins, but...). Either way, you will have to increase the number of pty's if you want more (which means modifying some files like /etc/master and others). E-mail to me if you need those directions. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)
