Question CDE server is starting, but I don't get a graphical logon

Hi.

I have HP J5000 workstation with Visualize FX4 graphics card and HP-UX 11.23 64bit.

When system is booting I get:
Start CDE login Server....................[OK]

But I don't see that X Windows are starting. The only thing what I get is console login.
Somebody knows how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Network settings are correct - I checked them.

As far as I remember, I don't have graphics logon since, I runned tty command or something like that. Reboot doesn't help, I still don't have the logon.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Booting once without a working graphics card can cause that line to
be commented out with a leading # character. That would prevent dtlogin
from starting the X server on later reboots. A commented out line
doesn't look very different. But it acts very different.

Mike Stroyan (from HP) dixit...
So Do you have a line thats similar to:

* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

in /usr/dt/config/Xservers

Else use /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt to see if it can diagnose something because more often than not it helps to pinpoint the fault...
Check if rcp.ttdbserver is running (That means also to check /etc/inetd.conf...)

All the best

vbe, thank you very much for your reply.

File /usr/dt/config/Xservers contains the not commented line:
* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

/usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt didn't gave something informative,just few warnings.

x11start starts a GUI with console wondow. Mouse and keyboard are working.

Tried also sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc reset - it does nothing in my case.

Finally I recall the reason for disabled CDE logon. I have disconnected USB mouse for better arrangement of cables.
Now maybe it would be easier to find the problem? "/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e" didn't help as well.

Also I have looked at XServer an monitor configuration in SAM, all seems to be fine.

Any ideas?

No more ideas...( I have only little and old knowledge on Xstations..., my X issues are more people not being able to get to their environment on servers (why can I get X desktop on this server , not on the other etc..)
Nothing wrong in /var/dt?
