Introduction

Fixing Common Installation Problems

3.Display what graphics cards the system console recognizes by typing: mo graphics list

4.Select the monitor type by typing: mo graphics(N) # type

where N = card slot, and # = monitor type

5.Set the console path to the graphics card by typing: pa co graphics(N)

6.Reconnect the keyboard to the system and cycle the system’s power. The system console should now display.

System’s X-server or CDE Does Not Come Up or Recognize the Graphics Card

If the system’s X-server or CDE will not come up or recognize the new graphics card, the HP-UX device files may not yet be set up. If you added a new graphics card or moved a current one to a new slot location, you may need to reconfigure some device files. Follow these steps in order for HP-UX to recognize the new graphics card or new card location:

1.Place the new card in the new slot location and boot to HP-UX. It will not boot into CDE or HP VUE, but it will allow you to login at the command line level as root.

2.Delete the old device files by typing: rm /dev/crt*

3.Create the new device files by typing: insf -ev

4.Finish booting to CDE or HP VUE by typing: init 3
