Hi all:

I have an error in the /var/dt/Xerror log.
HP-UX 11.00

---
Fatal server error:
Out of memory

error: Server for display terminated unexpecctedly.
---

What happen is the CDE terminate and bring you back the CDE login screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
steven

Hi, Do you have PHSS_20298?

It is the Xserver patch for HP-UX 11.0

The latest Xserver patch is a good idea if not installed. It might not be related to the Xserver, as it could be the Xserver just needed a small amount of memory and couldn't get any.

It would also be worth monitoring your swap space usage (swapinfo -tm) just to be sure.

It may also be worth going into SAM : =>DISPLAY => Xserver Config => modify server options and increasing GRMD and the other X memory related parameters eg shared mem transport size.

Incidentally were you running any particular application at the time of the hang ? I'm thinking along the lines of CAD,OpenGl, or Java ?
