X Server on HPUX 11.00

[Mark Harris_1]

Can anyone provide info on setting up the X-Server. I have tried to use SAM but we have no graphics adaptors on the system so it fails.

Any help/pointers would be appreciated

Thanks,
Mark

You don't really need to setup much : If you install the CDE -min or max runtime filesets from the core O/S the important Xserver bits come included. this is the easiest way to get X running.

Basically CDE's dtlogin will start the Xserver either locally on the Display if /usr/dt/config/Xservers files last line is uncommented: you will only have to do this if :

a) we are talking workstation with graphics head
b) server with graphics head, for all remote PC / xterminal connections this file can have the* Local local@conole line commented out.

Dtlogin parent will await XDMCP requests to start a remote Xserver/CDE session and will create child dtlogins accordingly.

CDE and the Xserver are started at run level 3 by /sbin/rc3.d/S990dtlogin.rc -> /sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc [stop/start].

Do you need more details ?
