Greetings, I had a DECstation 3100 with a color monitor running Ultrix-4.4. After I had to return this machine to Digital on a trade-in, I decided to move these system disks to a DECstation 5000/240 with a monochrome monitor. Before moving the disks I build a 5000 kernel. The machine boots fine, but the X server won't start. /usr/adm/X0msgs contains the re-occurring message: start UWS V4.4 X server release 5000 Mon Feb 12 08:55:24 1996 couldn't open device Does anyone know what device I am missing? The 5000 kernel config file is given below. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
