3232.0. "dms client: display problems." by TRCO01::VANDUYVENVOO (And this is only PART of it!) Mon Aug 20 1990 18:01

    Hello all. 
    
    Situation:
    	- DS3100 Server, DS2100 Client.
    	- ULTRIX (WS) RISC - SUPPORTED BASE installed in the client
    	  area.
    	- dms used to set things up.
    
    Problem:
    	- when client boots, there is only a login prompt. No windowing!
    
    Attempted Solution(s):
    	- added line to client area 'ttys' file. This was at the end
	  of the file and was a copy of another system's ttys entry.
    	  The difference was that the original was a colour system and the
    	  DS2100 is monochrome. From this, I changed the Xc?f part to Xm?f
    	  (I can't remember the letter in the middle?!) 
    
    Result:
    	- DS2100 hung with LOTS of network activity. 
    
    Obviously that 'ttys' entry is incorrect for the client side. 
    
    1. What is the correct entry?
    2. Does DECwindows have to be explicitly installed in the client
       area?
    3. How does one know what the entry is for future setups?
    
    Thanks for any help at all.
