    Any chance there is a bogus definition of the logical name 
    decw$keyboard in either sys$manager:systartup_v5.com or in
    sys$manager:decw$private_server_setup.com?
2543.2Who owns tta0?STAR::BMATTHEWSFri Mar 30 1990 09:171
Is the keyboard allocated to another process?

    That was it! TTA0 was allocated by a print symbiont (old Q).The system was 
    a MV II and was replaced by a vs3100. DECWINDOWS server process allocates
    TTA0 and was not able to earlier. Works great now.
    		Thanks much!
