AWS 95 and Launching Native X11 (6/94)

I have a question about XWindows running on an Apple Workgroup Server (AWS)╩95. I have tried launching X11, but I encountered the following errors:

applei2u.root # X11
can't ioctl(): Invalid argument
You don't have an X11 startup script (//.x11start).
Using default X11 startup script (/usr/lib/X11/.x11start).

Proceeding with X startup ...
can't ioctl(): Invalid argument
You don't have an X11 startup script (//.x11start).
Using default X11 startup script (/usr/lib/X11/.x11start).

Fatal server bug!
ioctl I_STR VIDEO_MAP_SLOT failed
XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "P"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient.
Failed to ioctl I_STR VIDEO_MAC.

How can I launch X11 under A/UX?

You can launch X11 from either of the following two methods:

* An X11 session in "Change Session Type.." from the Options menu in the
A/UX Login Dialog window.

* From a Console Emulator session, then type the command: X11

Launching X11 from within an A/UX Finder (32bit or 24bit) CommandShell is unsupported.

Since the release of A/UX 2.0 and later, you can't launch a native X11 server in A/UX within the A/UX Finder environment. You can, however, launch MacX from within the A/UX Finder environment.
