Thanks to all who respond to my s.o.s call.
I logged in as root in console mode, and tried to start X manually: /usr/bin/X11/X
the X file was missing, I restored it from another member, them another file was missing, so I decided to copy
all the files under X11 folder from the other member. That solved the problem.
Cause: One of the operators kicked the wks accidentally and apparently the system was writing to disk in that exact moment and the write operation was affected by the vibration and the files got corrupted, or the power cable was disconnected, because I found the box in the three angle bracket.
separate note:
If somebody ever find that being on the CDE, and trying to open a dtterm,--> it fails displaying unable to open pty. Go to /usr/dt/bin/ and do ls -l to make sure that the file dtterm has the following properties: -r-sr-xr-x The s is the key over here to set it like it should do: "chmod u=rs dtterm" where u means owner (user), you can use the octal notation if you prefer.
thanks
