the Xserver can not be started on display

Hi all.
First, sorry for my english...

I have a big problem with a C3600 workstation.
I can´t log on because the following problem:

"The Xserver can not be started on display nodename:0..."
"For details look into..."

This is the content of /var/dt/Xerrors:

"Fatal server error:
Mon Feb 7 16:13:57 2005
error (pid 1942): Server unexpectedly died

Mon Feb 7 16:14:02 2005
error (pid 1942): Server for display inshp001:0 can´t be started.
X server: Error in /etc/X11/X0screens (line 626)
Device name invalid or missing after keyword "Screen".
X server: Will try default "/dev/crt"
Failure to open default device file `/dev/crt`.
Please either specify the proper device filename in
your /etc/X11/X0screens file or fix `/dev/crt`. This filename is either
non-existent or is not a character special file. "

I have cheked it and it is correct -> Screen /dev/crt

please, can anyone help me??

Re: the Xserver can not be started on display

export DISPLAY=192.168.0.10:0.0

change the ip adderss part to the acutal ip address of the workstation.

vi /etc/config.d/xfs

make sure the first variable is set to 1.

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

Re: the Xserver can not be started on display

In the /usr/contrib/bin/X11 directory is an executable file called 'dr_dt'

Run this script - it will provide errors and/or warnings that may be present.
