Does anyone know how to fix this? A dtconfig -e doesnt work for it.

However, when i login at the Console Login, I can do a startx to get a x
server up and running.. so it seems x is okay.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

There should be a line near the bottom of /etc/dt/config/Xservers
that says

* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

That line tells CDE's dtlogin process to start an X server.
The line may have been commented out.

As has been said in the past with CDE you have to make sure that your
DNS resolution works correctly for it to work, make sure you can do an
nslookup of your host and IP address and get back the correct values.

The line mentioned was commented out. However, after uncommenting, CDE
does not start up on boot. Is there an error log anywhere I can check
to find out why this is.

PS. DNS is working fine.

There is an X server startup log in /var/dt/Xerrors .
You could use ps to confirm that dtlogin is running. It might be that the
default run level in /etc/inittab is not high enough to start dtlogin.
It sounds like dtlogin may have run but still not tried to start the
X server. You could run dtlogin as root in debug mode to see what it
is up to. First stop the currently running dtlogin with
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop
Then run a debug dtlogin with
/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -debug 1

That dtlogin will print debug information to the terminal you start it
from.

Mike,
No luck. Below is my report.

Using top I verified that X and dtlogin are both running and in the
sleep state.

dtlogin -debug 1 yeilds:

Does it look like there is an X server running on the console?
Can you run X client programs like 'xclock -display :0' ?
You can find log files for the X server in /var/X11/Xserver/logs/ .

/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt will check for many kinds of CDE
misconfiguration.

There is definitly no Xserver running. Yesterday, I was able to get
startx working enough to get some graphics and a terminal. There, I got
twm to work and could start up the graphical version of sam. From that,
I , at least I think, reinstalled CDE. I had to uninstall it
(CDE-English) and then intall it again. However, still no luck getting
anything graphical.

You said earlier that top showed X was running, but now you say
"There is definitly no Xserver running". I'm not sure what evidence
you are using to reach that conclusion.

The dtlogin program should be running X as prescribed in this line-

If you run
/usr/bin/X11/X :0
does the X server start up?

How about if you run
/usr/bin/X11/X :0 -query $(hostname)
to tell the X server to ask dtlogin to start a login screen?

When I type in startx, X starts up. I get nothing on the screen though
but a shell and can run programs such as xclock or twm. However, X does
not start up upon machine boot.

No, I get the error:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0.
If ..... remove /tmp/lock...

The system just seems to hang. Nothing happened for 10 minutes so I
ctrl-Xed it.

Does this help at all?
