board="dx2pci-2hd.xqa"

This line indicates that you are using a DX2 board (dx2pci) that supports two heads (-2hd) and that the configuration of the board is located in the board file dx2pci-2hd.xqa.

The board file is located in the directory /opt/DOMEdx2pci/boards. Do not modify this file.

See the second code sample on page 13 for configuration of the second head.

Using visual classes

A visual class (or visual) is the X Window System™ terminology to describe the characteristics of a display. X defines the visual classes listed in this table.

Static Class		Dynamic Class

•	StaticGray	•	GrayScale
•	StaticColor	•	PseudoColor
•	TrueColor	•	DirectColor

Static classes do not support the use of a modifiable colormap, but the corresponding dynamic classes do.

PseudoColor is a commonly used visual type. Some applications run only on displays with a PseudoColor default visual class. When the DX2 board is connected to a grayscale display, you can configure it to emulate PseudoColor for applications by invoking the X Window System with PseudoColor as the default visual class.

WARNING – Default visual class

When connected to grayscale panels, the Dome DX2 board has a default visual class of GrayScale.

When connected to color panels such as the Dome E3c display, the Dome DX2 board has a default visual class of PseudoColor.
