1899.0. "Motif doesn't work in Alphast 255/300..." by VAXRIO::MAURO () Tue Mar 18 1997 09:28

Hi,

I have the configuration that follows:
    
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("HW_NAME")
AlphaStation 255/300
$ SH DEV/FULL GYA0

Device GYA0:, device type DECwindows output device, is online, record-oriented
    device, carriage control, shareable.

    Error count                    0    Operations completed                 94
    Owner process                 ""    Owner UIC                      [SYSTEM]
    Owner process ID        00000000    Dev Prot    S:RWPL,O:RWPL,G:RWPL,W:RWPL
    Reference count                1    Default buffer size                  80

I'm not able to get the CDE login box after a normal boot. I get a black 
screen. I only access this Station using the systartup_vms.com below:

$ ty systartup_vms.com
$ on error then continue
$ sysmanio = "$sysman io"
$ define /system/exec sys$sylogin sys$manager:sylogin
$ start/queue/manager
$ start/queue sys$batch
$ define decw$ignore_decnet true
$ define decw$ignore_decwindows true
$ @sys$manager:startnet
$ exit

After this boot I start the Motif and again get a Black screen in the console.
If you check all the informations I have below, you'll see that I have the
DECW$SERVER, DTLOGIN and DTGREET process created, I'm able to set a display
(DECnet) and run the ICO example (nothing happens in the console), I have a
empty DECW$LOGIN.LOG file and the DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG file without error.

I already checked sysgen parameter, licenses, softwares and other stuffs,
and I didn't see an obvious problem (I think so!). My main doubt is if 
is correctly installed and exactly what I need to get an Alphastation 255/300 
with Motif working properly.
 
It's a FIS equipment and since the customer got and installed it the problem
exist.

If you have any suggestion about tests or procedures to troubleshooting what 
is going on, will be very welcome.

I posted this notes in the OPEN3D and ALPHASTATION conference.

Thanks, Mauro.
