After upgrading my standalone uVAX II to a bootserver, and reboot
the system has problems re-starting DECwindows.
No graphics device found on this system
DECwindows graphics drivers not loaded
DECnet is up and running without any problem.
When I do $set display/cre.../node=0
and then run sys$system:decw$clock, I get X toolkit fatal error
What am I doing wrong?

Umm, you said "uVAX II". If you meant what you said, then there IS no
graphics hardware on that system -- so the "device not found" message
speaks the truth.
Furthermore, since there's no graphics device, the node can't function
as a DECwindows server, so you can't usefully say "SET DISPLAY/NODE=0"
on that system.
Please tell us a little more about your problem. I'm not sure
whether you're a new user who expects DECwindows to run on a VT220,
or someone who's confused about DECwindows client/server operations,
or whether "uVAX II" was just a mistake in your base note and you've
got more difficult problems.

The base note should have said Vaxstation II GPX.
I have been using VMS 5.1(compatible DECwindows) for quite time
on this machine. Yesterday, I used CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM to set up
the VAXstation as a NI bootserver. After reboot, DECW$STARTUP.COM
while executing DECW$DEVICE.COM complained about not finding a graphics
device G*. I am using a standard VR290 color monitor with the GPX.
Hope this puts things in proper perspective.
Thanks for the quick response.

| 928.3 | Check WINDOW_SYSTEM | DIODE::CROWELL | Jon Crowell | Tue Jun 13 1989 08:44 | 13 |
Check and make sure the SYSGEN parameter WINDOW is set to 1
$MCR SYSGEN
SYSGEN> SHOW WINDOW_SYSTEM
SYSGEN> SET WINDOW_SYSTEM 1
SYSGEN> WRITE CURRENT
I have seen this get set to 0 and stop the graphics drivers from
working.

Thanks for your input. Changing SYSGEN parameter solved the problem.
