setting the monitor display on hpux 11.00

[Yuri Mendoza]

Hi,

I have a problem with setting the display to a resolution of 1024X768.

The procedure that im using is as follows:

1. I stop de dtlogin service
2. I use the command setmon to list the available resolution.
3. I issue the command setmon -s2 /dev/crt to specify the 1024X768 resolution.

after that i get the following error:

GC SETMONTYPE: operation not supported
failed to write stable storage successfully.

I don't know if i'm doing it the right way. Can someone please help me with this matter?

thanks in advanced...

The graphics card on your system is the limiting factor
/opt/graphics/bin/setmon -r will report the supported resolutions your current graphics card.

Or you can try the display settings in SAM

What are the specs for this box? model number?

Hi,

The box is a L-class server.

The people of hp send us a document related to this problem and the solution. It seems that with all L-class servers it cannot maintain the configuration after reboot, so the solution is just a script the you have to create in order to set the monitor resolution every time the server reboots.

here is the document that they send to me...


thanks to all of you
