I thought that if I put a VCB-02 into my VAX that DEC$WINDOWS would
automatically start up when it booted (when it recognized the console was a
frame buffer). Unfortunately that is not the case. What is the secret here?
Does anyone reading need a VCB-02 ? (less cab kit and cables?)

You have to install VMS (and VWS) with the VCB-02 installed,
and have a license for it.

Hmmm, well I did tell it to install DECWindows when it installed VMS, I
didn't see an option for VWS. Of course at the time the VCB-02 wasn't
installed so maybe it would have tailored it off the distribution. Hmmm,

Well a 7.2 hobbyist release. I've restarted an install with the VCB-02
installed, should be interesting to see how it works...

OK, as Eric pointed out what you're going to need is DECwindows and Motif.
VWS was discontinued with V6, IIRC.

With V7.2 you'll need to install DECwindows Motif (DWMOTIF_*).

You don't need to install VWS to use DECwindows, but depending on the
version you have to install DECwindows Motif. The DECwindows files
installed on the later version are just the OS support files.
