I have just installed the motif in my linux. However, I cannot start the motif
environment by mwm. It prompts me that.... Can't open display.

Should I get some files like .Xdefaults and .x-mwm as in the SunOS??

Thanx.

While I am no authority on the subject, I found that you have to start the
X server first (xinit, startx etc), you will probably have this set up to
start another window manager (like fvwm). I had to edit the .xinitrc
file. Either put the name of the window manager you want in the file, or
leave it empty and type 'mwm' when X has initilised.

Hope this helps.
