what are all the steps i have to do to start Xwindows in my Server so that clients can used x-client.

And, in another of my HP-Server cleints are getting a login screen when they start X-client but after they enter username information the CDE is not starting up? Can anyone give some suggestions

1) Install the CDE runtime Env from the core O/S CD ..it includes both Xsever & CDE files.

2) As to your other problem : depends on the H/w & S/W involved but my guess is its either a hostname resolution problem or possibly fonts, if using a PC.

How to resolve : check in the /var/dt/Xerrors file together with $HOME/.dt/startlog for clues .... may be worth running dr_dt as well.

If using a PC Xemulation package check the error log file on the PC .... if it mentions font warnings/errors set up xfs on the hpux system and point the PC X S/w to use it. .... TIP : do a search on this forum for say "xfs fonts" ... it should lead you to some docs which go into more depth on how to setup xfs.

Well your PC is the Server and the HP 9000 is the Client when you access the CDE. Is CDE running on the HP-UX box, run level 3?

If you are using a emulator on your PC make sure that your settings are correct. Are they on the same network? Be more specific.
