Hi all,
I have an 02 that i'd like to use to connect to a remote solaris
system via X. I can do this from my mac (Panther) no problem using
#/usr/X11R6/bin/X -query 192.168.1.8
.... but having a few problems with the o2
I've stopped the gfx with /usr/gfx/stopgfx and now get a command only
login.
When I try and start Xsgi as it spits out the following error...
# Xsgi -query 192.168.1.8
Xsgi0[13500]: crmInit: CRIME_INITIALIZE failed: Resource temporarily
unavailable
Xsgi0[13500]:

Xsgi is not Xfree86.
You could try putting the -query flag in the Xservers file, but there might still
be problems with X authorization.

If I have seen further, it is by standing on reference manuals.

Hmmm... does the above error message indicate a problem starting X or
a problem contacting the remote host? I'm starting to think it might
be the former, and it's bailing out before it even tries to make a net
connection...

A problem contacting local gfx that hasn't been initialized
properly, or a local XDM that's still prowling around and
preventing an X server to start.
One hint about the initialisation: /var/X11/xdm/Xservers starts "X", not "Xsgi"...
I missed that in your post, but now it's dawning on me...the call sequence is
xdm->X->Xsgi, and while you want to do without the first, you need the
second to initialize the CRM graphics.

Thanks Alexis ... finally got it working...
I got it to work by turning on the windowingsystem
# chkconfig windowsystem on
and starting with
# /usr/bin/X11/X -query 192.168.1.8
.... just need to work on the little tweaks now ... stop the sound
click when typing ... fix the font problems ... find out a way to
return to command prompt other than telneting and killing X remotely
.... blah blah etc etc ...
.... oh well... :-)
Cheers,
P.

Okay it *was* all working, now I can't re-create it.
now when I "chkconfig windowsystem on" I get automatically logged out.
Log in and issue /usr/gfx/stopgfx, then try and start X and get
"windowsystem is not running". "chkconfig windowsystem on" and it's
catch 22....
Hmm I don't think I've fiddled with anything, so what gives?
TIA.
Pete
