avizen — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 09:38:03 GMT

HI i am getting below error and can not get display one of my hp-unix 11 server. i already tried insf -e but it not help me.

\\`/dev/crt`.
Please either specify the proper device filename in
your /etc/X11/X0screens file or fix `/dev/crt`. This filename is either
non-existent or is not a character special file.

Shalom,

In addition to what Torsten says, please try rmsf on the current device files then insf -e.

What kind of display is this? Is it compatible with your video card(svga)?

Hi,

you have a C8000 - there you don't use X11 xserver, but Xf86!
And also no /dev/crt ...

I've to check where to configure ...

Have you done a ignite installation of an older server?

You should have /etc/rc.config.d/xf86 and /sbin/rc2.d/S700xf86 linked to /sbin/init.d/xf86 to start the right xserver!

Hi again,

sorry for my phrasing - it's only one link - /etc/rc.config.d/xf86 is a separate file.

Check your /etc/rc.log, do you have:
Install/Load XF86 DLKM Helper Modules
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S700xf86 start" ?

Your system shouldn't use /etc/X11/X0screens but /etc/X11/XF86Config !

Check RJ's hints ...
