Look. This is simple. Do a

$ SHO DEV G*

to see if there are any graphics devices loaded.

Then do a

$ ANAL/SYS
CLUE CONFIG

(hit CR once or twice) and see if the graphics device
shows up on the bus.

I am going to predict that you STILL have not yet installed
the Open3D LAYERED PRODUCT (at this point I do not
*care* about the license). FIND THE LAYERED PRODUCT
DISK OR CONSOLIDATED DISTRIBUTION AND INSTALL
OPEN3D V4.9b.
