rp3410 graphics problem

aaaA_4 — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 02:26:26 GMT

Hi,
I have a problem on my rp3410 box with graphics card part no AB551A ATI RADEON 7500 PCI running on HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11). I am not able to get into the CDE environment. After successful login (root) i am hanging on CDE Welcome screen (blue one).
Any advice?
Thanks,
N.

You already know this thread:

But you need to check your network settings and name resolution too.

Hi,

give Dr. DT a change:
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt

This tool analyzes your CDE configuration and gives valuable information for possible changes.

Hi,

login via a failsafe session to check your network settings:
- local hostname + IP
- /etc/hosts, NIS, DNS, ...

Is a login working for users other than root?
-> Check for manual settings of $DISPLAY and tty-output in .profile.

Hi,
I have already fixed all these settings, including name resolution. The problem is common for all of the users.
Help will be appreciated.

Hi,

can you please look for logs in
~/.dt
like
errorlog*
startlog*

and send their content(s)?

For additional logging enter (or change!) an entry like this in .dtprofile:
dtstart_sessionlogfile=dtsession.log

Thank you, but there is no problem mentioned in these log files. New idea?
Help will be appreciated.

Hi,

the setting
dtstart_sessionlogfile=dtsession.log

will not report problems - you should see how far the login into DT will come. Post the contents of startup.log and dtsession.log

Hi,

startlog file is enclosed. Even parameter dtstart_sessionlogfile in .dtprofile file was set:

#export dtstart_sessionlogfile="/dev/null"
export dtstart_sessionlogfile="dtsession.log"

no related log file was generated after unsuccessful CDE login.

Help will be appreciated.

Could you follow the instructions on page 17.

The manual says
"rp3410/40 â The AB551A graphics card must be placed in PCI slot 4."

Did you do this?

An ioscan output would be helpful.

This is the link to the manual:

Hi,

- comment the sourcing of the profile in .dtprofile as a test.
If now login works, strip the root-.profile to a minimum to sort out commands which may harm CDE (using tty output).
- use an absolute pathname for the dtsession.log so you cannot overlook it (e.g. /tmp/root.dtsession.log)

Hi Peter,

I have already tried to comment out the sourcing of the profile in .dtprofile file, but without success.
I was trying to find dtsession.log file all around the server, without success, so I think, it is not a question of absolute pathname.
Anyway, thank you for your assistance, and I hope will not give up soon.

Help will be appreciated.

Hi,

I would definitly continue with a commented line of
DTSOURCEPROFILE
in .dtprofile. In comparison to the startlog sended, you should verify, that the .profile is really not processed.

Did you try a CDE login as a different user (not root) - perhaps you create a new one and let the environment completely in the default state.

I think You should check your network settings (IP, DNS, NIS /etc/hosts, /etc/rc.config.d/netconf...)

Re: rp3410 graphics problem

aaaA_4 — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 04:06:27 GMT

Hi Peter,

startlog file of new user (test) with default settings and without sourcing of .profile file, is enclosed. With no success, of cource ;-(
Please, have a look.

Hi,

the variable NFS_CLIENT in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file had to be set to 1. Now everything is OK.
Thank you for assistance.
