Overriding the Default Settings

$ SHOW LOGICAL/SYSTEM DECW$SERVER_PIXEL_DEPTH

$ SHOW LOGICAL/SYSTEM DECW$SERVER_REFRESH_RATE

$ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=DECW$SERVER* DECW$XSIZE_IN_PIXELS $ SHOW LOGICAL/TABLE=DECW$SERVER* DECW$YSIZE_IN_PIXELS

$ SHOW lOGICAL/TAB=DECW$SERVER* DECW$SERVER_DEFAULT_VISUAL_CLASS

If any logical name is not defined, then the respective default is in effect.

You can also confirm the settings and any errors in the setup by examining the server error log file:

$ TYPE SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR_LOG

The SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM procedure contains documentation for many of the default X11 server settings that may be changed. For more information on making changes to the default settings, symbols, and system-wide logical names, see the manual titled Managing DECwindows Motif for HP OpenVMS I64 Systems. An online version of this document is available at:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/DOC/73final/6300/6300PRO.html

A complete list of available DECwindows Motif v1.3–1 documentation is available at: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/DOC/decwin131.html

For later releases of documentation, see the main HP OpenVMS I64 Systems Documentation site at:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/DOC/index.html

HP OpenVMS Alpha and I64 use the same implementation of X11 and Motif. Documentation for one generally applies to the other, unless otherwise noted.

To override the default settings, follow these steps:

1.Copy or rename the SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE file to create a new command (.com) file called DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.

2.Now make the edits for the settings you want to change using a text editor, and save the file.

3.For the changes to take effect immediately, you must restart the X server so that the new command file and changed settings will be used. The command to do this is as follows:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART

The new file settings will now override the original default settings.

NOTE: By renaming this template file to .COM, you will enable multi-head operation. Many HP Integrity servers provide an embedded graphics option (currently based on the HP PCI AMD Radeon 7000 Graphics Adapter and RN50). The order of the screens is based on the bus order of the options, and will vary based on platform. For information and restrictions on configuring multiple heads, see “Restrictions, Limitations, and Defaults” (page 13). For information on how to force single headed operation, see “Screen Order and Forcing Single Headed Operation” (page 15).

Additional system logical names are described in:

SYS$MANAGER:DECW$DEVICE_CONFIG_GH.COM

However, this file should not be modified. If you wish to make changes to the default logical names, redefine them in the DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file. These changes will supersede the values assigned in the device configuration file.
