Xserver Bug

Xsun Might Crash on Machines Without a Keyboard Attached (4651949)

If you start Xsun on a machine without a keyboard attached, Xsun might crash. A Segmentation Fault error message might display on the system console. If coreadm settings have been changed, Xsun might produce a core dump.

Workaround: To prevent Xsun from starting, follow these steps:

1. Access the machine on which the Xsun process terminated.

2. Become superuser.

3. Verify that the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file exists on your system.

   If the file does not exist, type the following command in a terminal window.

   # mkdir -p /etc/dt/config ; cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/

4. Edit the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file by adding # to the beginning of the line that contains either of the following strings.

   • /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun

   • /usr/openwin/bin/X

5. Reset dtlogin.

   # /etc/init.d/dtlogin reset

Subsequent executions of Xsun do not require the above workaround.
