You have asked for a rather generic X how-to without providing much of the useful information needed to help instruct you.
The most important information is what X (windows/motif) Client you will be running the applications on – this is usually the guest OS (OpenVMS, Tru64, BSD, etc.) running in the SIMH simulation, and what X Server (usually run on the PC that you want to connect to the guest OS) that you will be running. From your email we might presume OpenVMS on SIMH VAX, and the native X server (Gnome?) on Ubuntu. If you provide more server and client information, someone can provide more detailed instructions. Generally: 1) Install the X Client software (applications) on the virtual system (guest OS). If this is DecWindows/Motif on OpenVMS, read the fine installation manual - making sure to follow the AUTOGEN instructions to start up the windowing system on boot and adding enough reserved memory to prevent detached application crashes. :-) 2) Install the X server on the graphical visualization system (usually a PC). This is already done if running Linux on a PC in graphical mode. On Windows, install your favorite X Server software (Pathworks, Hummingbird, Attachmate, PuTTY, MING, etc.) 3) On the X Server side, make sure the permissions are set to allow the X Client’s IP (guest OS IP) to display to the X Server. 4) Connect from the X Server system to the X Client system via Telnet, SSH, or a native X Server connection interface, depending on the X Server system’s capabilities. 5) On the X Client side, start up the X application (XClock, Xterm, etc.) and export the X application session to the X Server visualizer (PC). The export and start up method methods vary depending on the X Client and guest OS. I would recommend starting with XClock or XEyes as your simplest connection tests.

The problem you’re seeing is due to the Linux OS environment you’re running under doesn’t support ‘raw’ mode for terminal I/O. When you start a simulator the traffic to/from the simulated console device is expected to be exactly the characters that the user types on the console keyboard. To achieve this, the current tt mode is gathered with tcgetattr() then those attributes are adjusted so that every character typed is received without any interpretation by the OS and output is also not translated (i.e. \n only sends a LF character instead of CRLF characters). The error message, you seeing is due to the call a tcsetattr() failing.
