Summary: X windows problem

Thanks to Oisin, Alan, and Bruce for prompt replies.

In a nutshell, install CDE from CD using setld is the right answer.

Sadly, patches on the system prevent installation of CDE subsets, and no 
patches were installed reversible, so there's no easy way for me to do 
this. I could build a new server, add the patches in question as 
reversible, copy the backup folders to the existing servers, try running 
dupatch to remove the patches, redo setld etc.

Probably not worth the effort!

Hello,

I have an AlphaServer 800 running Tru64 4.0G. I have added a supported 
video card, set console graphics, rebooted and the system is running fine 
in text mode.

When I try to start X using /sbin/init.d/xlogin, I get the following 
messages:

./xlogin WARNING: /usr/dt/config/Xconfig.con not found.
./xlogin WARNING: /usr/dt/config/Xservers.con not found.
./xlogin ERROR: /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin not executable

It looks like the x files were either not installed or deleted by a 
previous admin. Where can I find these to re-install? Is it as simple as 
copying the /usr/dt folders from a running system to this one?

Thanks,

Ralf
