HP OpenVMS Systems

ask the wizard

DECwindows no graphics devices found?

» close window

The Question is:

 
After booting to VMS version 7.3, following error message :
 
DECW$DEVICE-I-NODEVICE; no graphics devices found.
 
What is the cure for this error?

The Answer is :

 
  Unfortunately, you have not indicated if there should be a graphics
  device found on this system -- this informational message (-I-) could
  be an entirely normal and expected message from the bootstrap.
 
  If there is supposed to be a graphics device, please see the OpenVMS
  FAQ for details on locating the problem.
 
  If you wish to suppress all startup of DECwindows, you can define
  the logical name DECW$IGNORE_DECWINDOWS in SYLOGICALS.COM.  (This
  is not something the OpenVMS Wizard recommends, as the DECwindows
  startup also establishes context used by applications expecting to
  use DECwindows for its (remote) display capabilities.)
