Configure the Window Environment

Once you have set the display mode, you can configure your system to run either the OpenWindow or the CDE window environment.

NOTE: Board instances are assigned by the system.

Running OpenWindow from the console

For a one-headed system, type:

openwin -dev /dev/dx2pci0.0

For a two-headed system, type:

openwin -dev /dev/dx2pci0.0 -dev /dev/dx2pci0.1

Each device file has a name of this form:

/dev/dx2pciy.z

where y = board instance

z= head number (0 for first head, 1 for second head)

For more information on openwin, refer to your Sun OpenWindow documentation.

Configuring the Common Desktop Environment

If you boot up to the X Window System, use the instructions below to configure it for your DX2 board.

CDE defaults to using a single framebuffer associated with /dev/fb, the boot console. To change the startup configuration, copy the /usr/dt/config/Xservers file to /etc/dt/config/Xservers, and edit it there.

This file contains mostly comments, but the last line is the command line used to start the X server and bring up CDE. This is the default line:

:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun \ :0 -nobanner
