[Info-vax] [XDM] Can't open display

[Volker Halle]

JKB,

try opening a display first from your OpenVMS VAX7.3 system to your local X11-Server (Unix Workstation):

$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=ip-address-of-workstation/TRANSPORT=TCPIP

Then run the ICO image - it provides good error messages:

$ MC DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO

If that works, initiating the connection via XDM might work as well.

Note that you might need to configure TCPIP transport for DECWindows (see SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.*).
