I am trying to set up a VaxStation 2000 running Ultrix 2.0 to run X-windows
from init, and am having no luck.  I am using Ver. 10 Rev. 4 of X.  Has anybody
succeeded in starting X up from init?  Invoking '/usr/new/xterm -L' instead of
'/etc/getty ...'  yields the error message 'xterm open failed <NEWLINE> : No
such file or directory'.  What else does one need to do?  How should the
'window=' option be employed?  If this has been covered in this newsgroup
already, please simply email responses.  Thanks very much.  -- Bill Edwards
