| Since I only occasionally use X, and then as root from the console, I
| don't know how or when I may have messed up an OpenServer 5.0.5 system
| that I inherited.  It may never have been functional.  The current
| configuration does not permit anyone other than root to log in through
| scologin on tty02.  After taking the (non-root) UID and password, and
| briefly blanking the screen, scologin reverts to the graphical SCO login
| screen.  However, if I complete a 'terminal' login on any other console
| screen, and then manually run startx, almost everything is fine.  The only
| problem is that the "UNIX" resource (scoconsole?) just opens and
| immediately closes the virtual terminal screen.  Again, everything is fine
| for root.

Check /usr/lib/X11/scologin for an Xerrors file.

Instead of hitting <ENTER> after entering the password, use the <F1> key
instead.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
