The Confidence test panel displays icons for the devices that have been properly installed on the system and are recognized through hinv(1M). The devices that the Confidence test recognizes are:
Audio
Video
Flat panel
ISDN
Floptical
Tape drives
CD-ROM
Keyboard
Mouse
Monitor
Dials and buttons
Spaceball
Tablet
If you have recently installed one of the preceding devices but you do not see an icon for the device in the Confidence test panel, verify the following:
If the Confidence test was launched remotely, some of the devices that communicate with the X server do not appear in the Confidence test panel. See “About the Confidence Test Panel” for more information.
Does the system recognize the device? Execute the hinv command to see if the system recognizes the device. Refer to the hinv(1M) man page for further information.
The system output should be similar to:

A few devices are not recognized by the hinv command. Dials and buttons, tablet, and spaceball devices are not displayed through hinv.
Note: Make sure the eoe.sw.optinput subsystem is loaded by using the versions eoe.sw.optinput command. After verifying that, make sure the serial port is properly configured for the device by launching the System Manager from the Toolchest, selecting the Hardware and Devices items, and then selecting the Serial Device Manager. Configure the port for your device. The ISDN interface is not recognized by the system unless the isdn_eoe subsystem is installed.
Note: Make sure the isdn_eoe.sw.isdn subsystem is loaded by using the versions isdn_eoe.sw.isdn command. SCSI devices that have been added to the system require that the peripheral device be powered on prior to the system booting. If you have just installed a SCSI peripheral, try shutting down the system and powering it off, and then powering it back on after the SCSI peripheral device is powered on.
For additional information on adding SCSI devices, see the Personal System Administration Guide or IRIX Admin: Peripheral Devices. For additional questions or assistance, contact your local support provider.
