First, comment out the ":0" in /etc/ttys and uncomment the "console"
line, as described in another posting, to stop DECwindows from coming
up at boot time.
Then put the following into a shell script (say, "startdx"):
/usr/bin/X11/xinit /usr/bin/dxsession :0 -- /usr/bin/X :0
exit 0
Then to start DECwindows from a .login file or command line, just invoke
this shell script:
$ startdx
THE FULL PATH NAMES ARE IMPORTANT -- this is the "xinit" provided by DEC
unsupported, and DEC's DECwindows X server. On our machine, /usr/bin/X
is a symbolic link to /usr/bin/Xmfb (monochrome DS3100).
