1153.0. "Will this work?" by PHOBOS::WICKERT (Dave. Use SICVAX::WICKERT) Fri Jul 21 1989 07:45

    I am attempting to install ULTRIX V3.0 and UWS V2.0 on an old workstation.
    The configuration is:
    
    VS-I (upgraded by board swap to a VS-II w/9Mb)
    VCB01 w/VR100 monitor (yup, not a VR260)
    old serial mouse (not the corporate mouse)
    RQDX3
    RD54
    
    I am having two problems.  #1 is that the left hand border of the
    screen is about 1/8 inch wrapping around.  On VMS I set a SYSGEN
    paramater TTY_DIALTYPE to be 0 to support the old VR100 monitor
    (i.e. I have seen this problem before under VMS).
    
    The second problem is more serious in that the system boots ok,
    but when it is loading X it just stops ... i.e. hang city.
    
    You can type on the keyboard and characters echo but the system
    is hung.
    
    We tried several configuration builds on the kernal -- all with
    no luck.
    
    Any workstation people have any ideas? Apparently this worked under
    X10.
