X-server errors at login? I want to just get rid of this!

UNIX HP-UX
1

The CDE login manger may repeatedly scroll these error

messages on the console:

****************************************************************

  • The X-server cannot be started on display <hostname>:0...

  • For details look into the file, Dtlogin.errorLogFile (default:

  • /var/dt/Xerrors)

****************************************************************

****************************************************************

  • Suspending Desktop Login...

  • Press [Enter] for a login prompt.

  • Log in. Desktop Login will resume shortly after you log out.

****************************************************************

i was wrong --- i had assumed HP-UX went the same way as Solaris and Linux ... anyways, i saw this on HP's CDE documentation ... i don't have access to an HP box so you'll have to check "man Xservers" yourself ...
