Redefining the hp-HIL Search Path

The X*devices file can be used to redefine the path searched for hp-HIL devices. By default, the path searched is /dev/hil. The device files are named by appending the numbers "1" through "7" to the path.

The path is redefined by adding an entry to the X*devices file with the following form: <path> <hil_path> #<comment>

where:

<path>

Specifies the path to be searched for the hp-HIL input devices. #<comment>

Describes the path. Comments are optional, but if present, must be preceded by a "#".

The X server appends the numbers "1" through "7" to the specified path. For example, specifying:

/tmp/fred hil_path

results in the device names /tmp/fred1, /tmp/fred2, and so on.

Stopping the X Window System

After stopping all application programs, stop the window system by holding down the and

keys, and then pressing the key. This stops the display server, and with it the window

system. (If you have a PC-style keyboard, press instead.)

The sequence of keys that stops the display server can be customized in the X*pointerkeys file. Refer to the X0pointerkeys file in /etc/X11.
