    We've a MicroVAX II (630QB-A2) running VMS V5.3. DECWindow has been
    installed. However, when the system is booted up, the following
    messages are displayed :
    
    %DECW-W-NODEVICE, No graphics device found on this system
    %DECW-I-NODECW, DECWindows graphics drivers will not be loaded
                                          
    Does it mean that DECWindow cannot be run on the old MicroVAX II?
    Is there any remedy? Thanks.

| 2471.1 | %DECW-W-SYSGEN WINDOW_SYSTEM parameter must be 1 | STAR::BECK | Paul Beck | Mon Mar 19 1990 17:42 | 5 | 
|     If it's what I ran into recently, it's a particularly egregious case of
    a mis-named error message.
    Make sure your SYSGEN parameter WINDOW_SYSTEM is correctly set to 1.

| ANd also make sure you have graphics hardware. | |||||
| 2471.3 | You can still run applications if no graph h/w | DECWIN::FISHER | Prune Juice: A Warrior's Drink! | Wed Mar 21 1990 17:07 | 6 | 
|     I notice that you say "MicroVAX II", not "VAXstation II".  If it is
    really a MicroVAX (i.e. without graphics hardware) then you will get
    this message.  You can still run applications and have them display on
    a workstation or X terminal over the network.
