configuring graphics console on a K class

I've installed a K class from a text console
after then i install a graphics HP-VISUALIZE console with a ps/2 keyboard/mouse
so i configure the Hardware paths at the PDC level and i can see the system
coming up in the graphics console.
but i can't start automatically the vue login, so each time i reboot,the
graphics console is set in the text mode
and then i log on as root to run vuelogin
thanx for help!

Re: configuring graphics console on a K class

On servers(S800's)as opposed to workstations(S700') the file
/usr/vue/config/Xservers file traditionally has the line :

# * Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

(for CDE check /usr/dt/config/Xservers & be aware if the file exists in
/etc/vue/config/Xservers it will take precedence.)

This line is telling the vuelogin / dtlogin process which starts the Xserver to
start locally, if the comment is left in and you wish to start VUE/CDE
automatically on a series S800 system you need to remove it and re-start vue or
dtlogin, drop down 1 from the default run-level and then allow VUE/X to restart
normally by upping the run-level again.

If this does not resolve check the Xservers log file for clues :
/var/vue/Xerrors , /etc/rc.log, /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, $HOME/.vue/startlog
& run the utility dr_vue or dr_dt in the case of CDE.
