3645.0. "SPX=NODECWINDOWS for me anyway..." by SQM::ROY () Mon Nov 12 1990 15:57

    Did not find a problem quite like this one after searching thru
    notes with SPX in the title...
    
    Two new satellites added into my cluster today. They are the 
    first VS3100 m38/SPX satellites in the cluster. All went well
    adding them in via cluster_config, problem is with DECwindows
    NOT starting. Following message is displayed:
    
    	error opening sys$common:[sysexe]GEBDRIVER.EXE; as input
    	file not found 
    
    	no graphics device found on this system
    	Decwindows graphics drivers will not be loaded
    
    Im running VMS 5.3 , we have no file GEBDRIVER on this system
    The SPX graphics device I assume is GEA0, not GAA0 as in the
    NON-SPX models..
    
    			suggestions?????
    					thanks

    You need V5.3-1 on your cluster before you can use the SPX.
