    WE have a Hp Visualise B2000 workstation fitted with 2 graphics cards. The
    fault reported by the user was that the graphics cards were not displaying
    anything. There are usb connectors fro keyboard and mouse. With these not
    connected the system appears to boot ok ,when I am connected via a serial
    cable to the com port as a terminal device.
    I plugged in a usb keyboard and mouse and booted the system Hitting a few
    of the function keys brought up some squares at the bottom of the VGA
    screen and then they disappeared, but it appeared the video output was
    working in a sort of fashion. I typed startx and got a blank x window
    display with I think one xterm session in it.
    That made it seem that progress was being made. But now for some reason ,
    even with the keyboard and mouse plugged in, nothing appears on the vga
    screen and standard out is coming out of the serial port.
    I know practically nothing about this hardware or HPUX os as I am used to
    working with Sun Solaris.
    I would appreciate any helpful suggestions or guidance
    Thanks
    George
