Getlemen.
I'm having problems with the graphics on my hp-ux visualize workstation running hp-ux 11i.
FX10-gfx card installed.

After a reboot the fx does not start. the error-msg's are:

mikkel 103: !tail
tail -f /var/dt/Xerrors

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

Permissions on /var/spool/sockets should be 777.

Permissions on /var/spool should be 555.

check permissions on /tmp

Check "netstat -a | grep 6000". Is something running on port 6000

can you also run dr_dt and examine the output, lastly has this ever worked with this card ?

looks like it was a loose input-cable (mouse/keyboard) from the kvm.. got it up working again now but will have a closer look at it Wednesday morning.
