What I did is issue the command "X -query hpservername :1" on one of the virtual consoles.
However what happens is that I only get initial black screen and hourglass icon of the mouse curor. After that it just repeatedly just blanks out and shows the hourglass icon again. I even have to telnet into the linux box just to kill the X process since I cant even get a permanent non-balnking screen in the main gui screen of my linux box.
For connecting to a solaris box, its working perfectly fine.
Is there any configuration needed on my linux box or on the HP-server?
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionFor me it works perfectly.
I guess your problem is linked to font server being used.
I would suggest you start the X font server on the HP-UX box as follows :
=> Edit /etc/rc.config.d/xfs and change the variable value from 0 to 1.
=> Type /sbin/init.d/xfs start to start the X font server.
Then tell your Linux X server to use the HP-UX machine's font server as follows :
X -query hpservername :1 -fn tcp/hpservername:7000
IMPORTANT REMARK : if you have an international keyboard, you may need the "AltGr" for certains characters (|, #, @, etc...). To be able to use the "AltGr" key, you must disable XKB extensions in the CDE startup files.
To do that, go to the HP-UX machine :
cd /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d
Create a new file (let's say "xkbdisable") with the following two lines :
#!/usr/bin/ksh
export XKB_DISABLE=1
Set the permissions of this file as follows :
chown bin:bin /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/xkbdisable
chmod 555 /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/xkbdisable
To make sure that changes are effective, you have to logout from your CDE desktop (from Linux machine) and login again.
Good luck.

Re: Linux as X server for HP-UX
use 8bit color depth, if not some applications may look wierd or not start up at all.
