Just a checklist...

sam
kernel configuration
drivers

make sure the graph3 really is set to state IN

Do you have dtlogin.rc soft linked in /etc/rc3.d to a script in /sbin/init.d

??

Do you have /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

first variable set to 1 so the font server starts?

If not, change the variable to 1 and:

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

:-)

Is CDE installed / running?

Mouse & keyboard connected?

Yellow boxes sounds like HP terminal emulation only.

- See if X is really running:

"ps -ef | grep X11"

- Check the X error log:

"view /var/dt/Xerrors"

Sara,

What is the value of "init" in your /etc/inittab?

view /etc/inittab

Do you have a fix yet?

The only other info I can find is this:
http://docs.fc.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/A6150-90001/A6150-90001.pdf

It says: do not install the USB card that came with this board. Did you?

ok farid follow you find full description for problem and solution , I face this problem here in Jordan three times :

problem :
after install graphic card A6150 in hpux server and
sure the drivers configured .
you see in the screen just yellow boxes like terminal
and the cde (gui interface) can't start .

solution :
1- vi etc/dt/config/Xservers
2- remove the # sign before the
(( * Local
local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0 ))
or add it if you can't find usually it be the last
line in the file .
3- restart the server .
