2471.0. "DECWindow on MicroVAX II" by TRCO01::JIM () Mon Mar 19 1990 17:26

    We've a MicroVAX II (630QB-A2) running VMS V5.3. DECWindow has been
    installed. However, when the system is booted up, the following
    messages are displayed :
    
    %DECW-W-NODEVICE, No graphics device found on this system
    %DECW-I-NODECW, DECWindows graphics drivers will not be loaded
                                          
    Does it mean that DECWindow cannot be run on the old MicroVAX II?
    Is there any remedy? Thanks.

    If it's what I ran into recently, it's a particularly egregious case of
    a mis-named error message.

    Make sure your SYSGEN parameter WINDOW_SYSTEM is correctly set to 1.

ANd also make sure you have graphics hardware.

    I notice that you say "MicroVAX II", not "VAXstation II".  If it is
    really a MicroVAX (i.e. without graphics hardware) then you will get
    this message.  You can still run applications and have them display on
    a workstation or X terminal over the network.
