LCD monitor problem

[YAQUB_1]

Dear All,

I could not find out any signal in my LCD monitor. Here is the my system H/W info:
* rp3440
* OS HP-UX 11.23 FOE
* HP OpenVMS, HP-UX PCI Graphics Card
* HP L1740 LCD Monitor

Any body told me which way I can resolve this issue.

Rgds--Yaqub.

What kind of VGA card (product number)?

Please read this too:

VGA card part # AB551A.

You need a minimum firmware on the server, see

http://docs.hp.com/en/SFWM1/ch04.html

(PDC 45.44)

You need to install the card in a dedicated slot and finally you need probably some patches, see

http://docs.hp.com/en/AB551-90003/AB551-90003.pdf - Chapter 4

I have check the firmware version is 45.44

[Torsten.]

Did you follow *all* the steps in the manual?

[YAQUB_1]

Yes

[Torsten.]

Did you install all patches, verify the installation with "ioscan" and "setmon" and adjusted the Xserver?

Have a look at page 29 in the manual for troubleshooting tips.

Be aware you won't get a console output there. The console is still on serial. The VGA is only connected to the Xserver.

ioscan without "-fn" is not really helpful, but anyway, how about this:

"Warning: No X server is running"

You cannot get anything on the screen without a running XServer. Refer to the manual again.
