My question was:
DEC 3000/600, OSF/1 V3.2, 64 MB RAM, Netscape 2.0
Every time I start Netscape 2.0 on the console, I reveive a lot of X
error messages, but Nestscape keeps running normaly. If I use a PC with
Linux and XFree86 or DOS/Windows and an X terminal emulator, there are no
error messages.
I received 3 answers. Nobody could identify the problem. Oyanarte
Portilho believes the problem is the graphics card (PMAG-DA), but
Ed jones reports the same problem with ZLX and Anuska Aragon with X
terminals.
The realy bad news came from Oyanarte Portilho: PMAG-DA will not be
supported by V4.0 of DU. Is this *realy* :-( true, DEC people?

I've got the same problem here with an X-Terminal and remote
machines using OSF/1 V3.0 and V3.2. It all started with Netscape 2.0.
If you find a solution, please tell me.
