some problem with booting of X-console

[Efim Kushnir]

Hello,
we have some problem with booting of X-console on our server.

We have server HP9000 D220.
After deleting the graphic adapter and reboots of a system we have established the adapter again, but now for us do not boot X.

To install a new OS on server we always we shall have time :-)) and therefore we have question:

How to us to correct configuration files for a normal loading of the graphic console?

Thanks,
Efim

Hi

When machine has booted check

1)tail /etc/rc.log
2)ps -ef|grep dt
3)cat /var/dt/Xerrors

4)If no good try running
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt

Correct any faults


Post results if more help needed.

try the following :

Assumming you wish to start X locally :

ioscan -fnC | grep -i graphics

ensure the graphics card is claimed and correct drivers in kernal ...probably graph3.

run :

rmsf /dev/*crt*
insf -evd framebuf

(creates correct graphics device files)

/sbin/init 2
/sbin/init 3 ?

result, if X fails to start ...

a) what do you see on the graphics console ?

b) is dtlogin or vuelogin running ?

if yes cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers -> /etc/dt/config/Xservers

and remove the # in front of the last line
if it exists :

ie it should read : * Local local@console ...

/sbin/init 2
/sbin/init 3 ?

result, if X fails to start ...

/sbin/init 2
/usr/bin/X11/X :0

result ? if you get a grey mesh screen kill using ctrl shift break, if not check X process is/is not running ..report any errors.

Dear friends,

thank you for help, but all problems was finished after reconfiguring font server through "set_parms font_c-s" command under single user mode.

After it I have normal X-booting, but your answers very help me for understanding problem.

In any case I set points for your answers with good rating.

Thanks you again.

Regards,
Efim.
