CDE acting up on second screen.

 

CDE acting up on second screen.

Hi,

As I announced in hp-ux workstations forum, I finally managed to run FXE on B132L.

However my troubles didn't end.

If I run CDE on internal graphics, every thing's OK. I can modify styles, fonts are displayed correctly etc.
When I however switch to FXE as primary display, CDE's going nuts- basically I end with "fontless" (even font settings complain that "font for selected size is not available", but then I can set then font from the menu and will be displayed) basic style, with no way of changing it, and I cannot retain changes between sessions.

In any case, dtlogin shows as it is supposed to be so that is adding to mystery...

Re: CDE acting up on second screen.

Problem solved, it seems there were several things contributing to my problem:
1. Unterminated #if statement in /usr/dt/config/sys.resources which caused preprocessor to bail out- and in consequence no user schemes.
2. Colors can be changed only with 8-bit PseudoColor visuals (patch name appreciated, if that was fixed).
3. I still can't use file and application manager, they complain about "invalid folder specifications", I use "hosts: files dns" in nsswitch.conf, in hosts I have "192.168.1.11 offenbach localhost loghost local" (in case you ask: local is NODENAME because "offenbach" is 9 characters- it haven't messed anything, because dtfile was working before switching) and doesn't have FQDN, so the resolver mismatch bug doesn't apply here. Any ideas appreciated...
