This looks like SDL is having problems connecting to the X server. Is
the DISPLAY environment variable set and are you able to run other
Xwindows applications from the command line? Perhaps try xdpyinfo.
It could also be an X11 access control problem. A quick search online
for X11 "no protocol specified" showed a few people having problems
running X11 applications as root (and I noticed you are running simh as
root). The problem was due to a missing .Xauthority file for the root
user. Check the environment variable XAUTHORITY.

The difficulty was exactly running as root and doing a "su - vaxuser"
and expecting X to function under roots window control .
SET CPU TYPE=VAXStation
Works fine .
(Poorly) In my defense I had been regularly doing that on the
previous remote session . Bad habits die hard .
So now I have a qvss window but have been wondering why after
executing the 'boot cpu' sequence that the output/input isn't transfered to
the qvss window ? Just a wondering not a difficulty I'll try the VMS instance I
have and see if it'll populate that window .
Thanks goes to both , Mark Pizzolato & Matt Burke .
Hopefully there'll be less noise from me from now on ;-)
