HP rx2620 and 15" monitor

Hi,

I have a HP rx2620 Itanium server running HP UX 11.23. I also have a HP 1502 monitor which I think is a 15" monitor. I was not able to have a CDE output when using this monitor. Is there a way to be able to produce CDE output using this monitor? I was only able to go to the login prompt in text mode.

Note that when I use a 17" monitor, I was able to produce the CDE.

Thanks.

Regards,

Kenrick

Is dtlogin running??
run dr_dt and check for errors and warning messages.

Have you set monitor resolution correctly, when you connected 15" monitor?? setmon for details.

Hi RAC,

Yes dtlogin is running. I tried to run X window manually. The monitor displays "out of frequency range".

So far I dont have any problems using 17" monitor.

Regards,

Kenrick

Look at setmon command.

setmon -r would report what monitor supports and what should settings be.

Excercise a caution when you do this, else it may render the monitor useless.

Hi Kenrick,

Try this ..it has worked for me..

In the command prompt vi the following file..
.. "/etc/X11/XF86Config"

Go to the following section "Screen" as ashown far below and replace "1280x1024"(or any other) with "1024x768".. and reboot the box.. Voila..you will end up with CDE on a 15" monitor. (Nothing wrong to apply a linux concept in HPUX a bit, never kills ;).

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 0"
Device "Console"
Monitor "Monitor 0"

#
# Set the default depth.
#
DefaultDepth 24

#
# The subsection associates a buffer depth with a screen size.
#
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
EndSubSection
EndSection

No pointer for tghis please,

Kenrick,

If 1024x768 entry doesn't work ..don't be disheartened, try using 800x600
