Hi!

I tried to start openwindows for the first time on a SPARC today. It
didn't work...

The error messages I get are:
<Flashing over the screen, and disappearing>: "XNews is already
installed..." <and then something I can't read until it disappears>
Then it is quiet for a while, until I get an error message:
"Failed to connect to X server" <something>

- Then openwindows terminates

I am grateful for any help. The sysmanager is on a 6 weeks vacation,
and I can't find the manuals, so RTFM won't help me none.

Thanx!
