Harold,
I had no problem running VMS on XFree86. I just did:
1 – Telnet to connect and logon as normal
2 – Set the X windows display with SET DISPLAY/CREATE /NODE=my.machine.name
/TRAN=TCPIP
3 – To test the connection, start a new terminal with CREATE/TERM/DETACH or
type MC DECW$CLOCK
That worked fine. But I have to get the keys and fonts working for an app
that runs on there. Harold, ANY help is appreciated!
Many thanks,
JS.
JS,
We do run VMS at one the jobs I have... I tried once to connect
Cygwin/XFree86 to VMS, but I was unsuccessful. My boss uses X-Win32 all
the time to display VMS apps (at least, I think she does... but she does
have VMS machine on her desk, so maybe she doesn't...). I could see what
she does to connect X-Win32 to VMS, or I could ask around to see if anyone
else there does it. I might be able to give you some tips, but don't hold
your breath waiting for me to find the info, as it may take a few days.

Hi,
Is anyone here running DecWindows using XFree? I know nothing about VMS
but need to set up XFree for someone who does. I just have a couple of
questions though:
1. What are the VMS key mappings and where do these go?
2. How do I get the VMS fonts to work? Apparently there isn't a font
server on VMS.
Thanks,
JS.
