HELP!!

After I reboot my machine the SCO XDesktop applicaton does not work.
The application runs and is visible in a 'ps', but the application
doesn't draw anything on my display!

When this happens not only does XDesktop not run, but a terminal
emulator to a mainframe does not run and Tk does not run.

Anyone have any ideas?

Mike

Can you tell whether the system successfully switches from text to
graphics mode?  Is the screen blank or stippled?  Do you see no cursor,
a blinking text cursor, or an X "X" cursor?

The desktop was working at one point, right?  Then you rebooted and it
stopped working.  Have you ever gotten it to work again?

What video board are you using (brand, model, amount of RAM)?  What mode
are you tying to use?  (An excerpt from the file
/usr/lib/grafinfo/grafdev will answer these questions).

What software releases are you running?  To display the X server and
graphics driver releases, run `grep rel= /etc/perms/xsrvr
/etc/perms/xaga`.
