So once it's all installed and running, you'll get a X session up on the graphics card - you just can't use it as a VMS OP console.. That's right, though, in his specific case DECwindows wouldn't work as there is no support for ATi FireGL graphics adapters. I heard HP is considering to support some new graphics adapters, like the AMD/ATi FireMV 2250 (for which there should already be HP-UX support, though only 'accelerated 2D'), because of some of requests and demand from several big customers. Demand for graphics support for these platforms is still there, which is both interesting and nice, especially as we're told that it is 'dead' and that 'nobody' allegedly 'cares' for it. The only problem is that these modern cards are PCIe (PCI-Express) models, thus won't be of much use for someone with a rx2600 with only PCI/PCI-X slots... - MG
