3425.0. "DECW$KEYBOARD...." by BACHUS::VERCAMMEN (La VAX qui rit...) Wed Oct 03 1990 07:22

	One of our engineers is doing an installation from scratch on a 	
	VAXstation 3100 SPX.

	He installed VMS V5.3 + DECwindows and afterwards V5.3-1...

	The problem is that DECwindows does not come up.
	If we look at the DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG it says:

>>>>>	2-oct-1990 09:09:45.30  Hello, this is the X server
>>>>>	Dixmain address = 13074
>>>>>	QIOW to DECW$KEYBOARD failed. Can not init input from keyboard 8260

	The weird thing about this is the following:

	If I boot minimal (STARTUP_P1 "MIN"), start DECnet and then start 	
	DECwindows, everything is normal...DECwindows starts up normally...

	If I boot minimal (STARTUP_P1 "MIN), autoconfigure all devices 
	(MC SYSGEN AUTO ALL), start DECnet and start DECwindows, we have the 
	same problem...DECwindows does not start...

	I read note 2543, but this is not our problem. (TTA0 is not allocated)
	Anyone seen this before???

	Thanks,

	Jan

Just a wild guess:  

$ write sys$output f$message(8260)
