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;
}
}

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root system 101111 Mar 13 12:46 /usr/bin/X11/xinit
Has anybody seen this problem before?
