    Documentation for each graphical application is provided by two manuals: one specific to the application and this manual which provides information common to all of the applications. For example, the primary user interface of the workstation is X Windows which is required whether or not you use any 3D APIs.

    This chapter contains information on locating files that reside in the file system. finding files with “whence” and “whereis” There are two main methods of finding commands if you know the name of the command you’re looking for. The first method is to use the Korn shell command whence, which tells you where a command resides.

    GVID is not a DLKM, but it is statically built into the kernel. GVID is device-independent. The usage of DLKMs is very different for the 11.22 version of HP-UX and subsequent versions of HP-UX. Both versions of DLKMs are discussed in this section.

  • Page 11: Correctly Configured 11.23 And Later System

    11.23 and later system To determine if the DLKMs are loaded correctly on HP-UX 11.23 and later systems, run the command /usr/sbin/kcmodule -v -q <DLKM Name> (as root). This displays the status of the specified DLKM. The DLKMs that you should look for in a correctly configured graphics system included: gvid_info, the DRM, and the HRM.
