The Xserver binary can also be run manually. You can run the X loader by issuing the
following command:
# /usr/bin/X11/X :display_num (where display_num can be any integer (typically 0))
The X loader will then run the appropriate Xserver as described above. In addition,
one can also run the individual Xserver binary manually. For example:
# /usr/bin/X11/Xf86 :0
NOTE: Please refer “Supported Graphics Cards” for the list of supported graphics
cards on HP-UX systems and the equivalent Xserver supported.
