c3600 - headless with remote graphics

[Peter Jahn]

i'm trying to use a c3600 (B.11.11 U 9000/785) with hp remote graphics sender. i would like to have no keyboard or mouse attached to workstation. but this ends up with beeps and an x-server not starting. but i need dtlogin to connect to the machine via remote graphics. any chance to use rgs with no keyboard or mouse attached to the sender-workstation? thanks for your help.

Shalom,

Connect via telnet or ssh

vi /etc/rc.config.d/xfs

set variable to 1

/sbin/init.d/xfs start

Try again.

thanks for your answer.

but changing this variable additionaly starts font server. this will not help in my case. the problem is, that x-server (and therefore dtlong) does not start when there is no keyboard or mouse attached to the c3600. Without that running hp remote graphics receiver can't connect successfully to the sender deamon running on the c3600.

If you look at the /var/dt/Xerrors file you will see the error messages about the mouse (pointer device). The beeps are in there as well ( ^[g ). The errrors keep repeating and those are the beeps that you hear. Try attaching a mouse only, it might startup. It is easy to coil up the mouse wire and leave it hanging on the workstation.
