Chapter 14: Installation
Installing HP 9000 Software
Step 3a. Start the X server and the Motif Window
Manager (mwm)
If you are not already running the X server and a window manager, do so now. The
X server is required to use the Graphical User Interface because it is an X Windows
application. A window manager is not required to execute the interface, but, as a
practical matter, you must use some sort of window manager with the X server.
• Start the X server by entering x11start at the HP-UX prompt.
Consult the X Window documentation supplied with the HP-UX operating system
documentation if you do not know about using X Windows and the X server.
After starting the X server and Motif Window Manager, continue with step 4 of
these instructions.
Step 3b. Start HP VUE
If you are running the X server under HP VUE and have not started HP VUE, do so
now.
HP VUE is a window manager for the X Window system. The X server is
executing underneath HP VUE. Unlike the Motif Window Manager, HP VUE
provides a login shell and is your default interface to the HP 9000 workstation.
