Hi all! I'm trying to connect a serial console to a Personal Decstation 5000/25. I set the variable console to "s" at the bootprompt. When it's booted the console entry in /etc/ttys is switched on. After this the console wakes up and works perfectly. However, I still want to use the graphical screen and it doesn't work. The X-server seems to be unable to connect to the hardware and keeps restarting. In the X0msgs file the message "GET_WORKSTATION_INFO failed" is logged again and again. Can this be solved? /Mats =============================================================================== Mats G Karlsson E-mail: atomaka@ato.abb.se (__) ABB Atom AB MEMO: ABB.SEATO.ATOMAKA (oo) Avd: AUD Tel: +46 (0)21 347762 \/-------\ S-721 63 Vasteras Fax: +46 (0)21 347088 || | \ Sweden ||---W|| * ===============================================================================
