• Check /etc/X11/X0screens
If you're using a monitor timing file, verify that it is spelled
correctly and contains valid settings for your output device.
• The default is 1280 X 1024 at 75 Hz for sv6. The graphics cards on
each system automatically get set to the same monitor type that is
being used by the Compositor. Change monitor type using the SLSd
video timing options in the /etc/X11/X0screens file
• To verify that the output from your graphics card is working:
Plug a monitor directly into the fx10 card's analog connector.
Note: The narrower connector is analog, the wider one is digital
If not there already, go to init3.
If you get normal output on the screen, proceed to the
"Compositor Problems" section.
• If you don't get normal output from one graphics card, call HP
Support and report that there may be something wrong with your
graphics card.
18. Display Looks Incorrect
Symptoms covered by this section deal with incorrect rendering to the
screen. For example, there might be a bad region of the screen while the
rest of the screen looks normal.
• Verify that all of the systems have EXACTLY the same versions of
Hewlett-Packard X server and OpenGL graphics patches.
Verify that the X server and OpenGL patch versions installed on
all Workstation are the same:
what /opt/graphics/OpenGL/lib/libGL.1
what /usr/bin/X11/X
ALL machines MUST have the exact same dates for the X version
and for the libGL.1 version.
• To identify which pipe is displaying a "bad" section:
Run /opt/graphics/OpenGL/sv/bin/setpipes -test
Unplug one DVI cable at a time (The cables that connect the
graphics cards to the Compositor input cards)
The section associated with the disconnected cable will turn red.
