Linux & HP-UX interoperability

Hello Experts,
I am relatively a newbie to HP-UX world. We have some C240 HP workstations running HP-UX 10.20(B.10.20 A 9000/782). When the user of this machine accesses some openGL based programs (like xmovie) from Linux (redhat 7.2, 7.3 or 8), entire CDE screen, mouse & keyboard gets freezed. This may be due to mising of some GL librariesin HP-UX. Such case we only way we could do was to do a telnet from n/w and issue a reboot command to reboot the machine. My questions are..How to solve the problem without rebooting?? Is any way to kill & restart the X server in HP-UX?
What is the permanent solution for this problem? like installing some aditonal GL routines..

Thanking you,
James Sebastian

kill the Xserver : try

if that fails try a kill on the parent and child dtlogin processes, if that fails try a kill on X itself.

As to patches : see http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6193EA

followed by the latest OpenGL,Xserver,CDE pex,starbase patches

To test opengl installed correctly -> cd /opt/graphics/OpenGL/demos/verify_install if that errors post the results ....
