It sounds like the box is set up for terminal console rather than graphic console.
On most SGI boxes if you ever boot without the keyboad pluged in the it sets a boot var for console to text or vt100 mode.
if you can login via telnet then run the command
"chkconfig"
look and set a few items if different from below.
visuallogin on
windowsystem on
xdm on
If any of these are off then enter the command
chkconfig visuallogin on
notice that I did not use an "=" sign. Just type it with a blank space.
also type the command nvram console g
this will set the boot prom to try and boot with the graphic display.
MAKE SURE THERE IS A KEYBOARD PLUGED IN OR THIS WILL NOT HELP.
Good luck
Keith
