disable internal display on c180, allow X11 remote login

[Brad Bobak]

Hi, I have just come across a c180 visualize workstation and have hp-ux 11.00 installed on it.
The c180 has an onboard video card, but, as I will be using this station headless, I would like to disable the onboard video card if this is possible..
Also, I would like to setup X to allow a remote connection from my lan (via Xhost -query...) if this is possible..
Any suggestions, pointers, etc are appreciated.

just don't hook up a monitor.

Check for the following files

/usr/dt/config/xserver & /etc/dt/config/Xserver

/etc has precedence

edit where appropriate the last line reading

local local@console ....


it should disable starting X on the local console (monitor) but still allow remote dtlogin (CDE) request to be run.

Hi Brad,

There are multiple ways to achieve this.

Normally CDE is started by /sbin/rc3.d/dtlogin.rc and it sources the file /etc/rc.config.d/desktop.

Run "ch_rc -l -p DESKTOP" to see the current setting (Most probably it's set to CDE"
To change it edit the file manually or run
"ch_rc -a -p DESKTOP="

Another option is to change /sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc to s990dtlogin.rc so the file won't run on reboots.
