Hi,

Before seeing more complicated things check that the system can resolve his own name properly with nslookup.

Best regards.

Yes. It could resolve itself.
But keep prompting the following


* The X-server can not be started on display hpws5:0
*
*

* Press [Enter] for a login prompt

* Log in. Desktop Login will resume shortly after you log out.

Hi,

Check that the file /etc/hosts has at least two entries one for the name of the system and the other for th loopback address.

See the file /var/dt/Xerrors for any important message

Run the script /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt

Hope this help.

the problem may well be with just the Xserver : try this ->

check in /var/dt/Xerrors

and run /usr/bin/X11/X :0 from the command line what errors or results do you get .....

I'm wondering if this may be a problem with mouse or KB or device files ..... running X :0 with hopefully isolate this a bit ... fyi graphics device files maybe recreated using rmsf
/dev/*crt* followed by insf -evd framebuf.

If X :0 works you'll get/see a grey mesh screen and cross hairs , kill it will a CTRL SHIFT BREAK.The problem is likely to be CDE .... try running the cde diagnostic -> /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt and get back to me ....

also the Xserver is core dumping can you run file core please ? incidentally what patch level are you running at, O/s and is either ACE or the Graphics Technical computing bundle installed on this w.s ?
