2: Sun X11 drivers - 10 September 1987
3:
4: A joint production of:
5:
6: Adam de Boor University of California, Berkeley
7:
8: David Rosenthal
9: Stuart Marks
10: Robin Schaufler
11: Mike Schwartz
12: Frances Ho
13: Geoff Lee
14: Mark Opperman Sun Microsystems
15:
16: Special thanks to:
17:
18: MIT's Statistics Center, for generously allowing us to monopolize
19: their Suns while we integrated the Sun code into the releases.
20:
21: This version of the Sun X.11 drivers uses ../mi, ../mfb and ../cfb to support
22: the following configurations:
23:
24: Sun/2 bw2 cg2/3/5
25: Sun/3 bw2 cg2/3/4/5
26: Sun/4 bw2
27:
28: The following configurations are NOT supported:
29:
30: Sun/1 bw1 cg1 (requires separate port)
31: Sun/2 gp (use /dev/cgtwo0)
32: Sun/3 gp (use /dev/cgtwo0)
33: Sun/4 cg2 (we're working on it)
34:
35: The drivers are completely untuned, and have inferior performance. The code
36: is lint-free. It installs and runs on these configurations under SunOS 3.2,
37: 3.4, and 4.0. However, we must stress that it is completely unsupported, and
38: if you have problems installing or using it you are on your own.
39:
40: Things to check before building:
41:
42: 1) server/include/site.h - replace the font and rgb paths.
43:
44: 2) Make sure the fonts/Makefile uses the pad flag on the font
45: compiler to pad the glyphs to 4-byte boundaries.
46:
47: 3) If you want the non-portable zoids extension, add -DZOIDS to CFLAGS.
48: The non-portable zoids have worse performance than portable zoids
49: but prove that the extension mechanism works for output.
50:
51: Then build the system by:
52:
53: 1) Make the dependency generator:
54:
55: cd makedepend ; make ; cd ..
56:
57: 2) Update the dependencies by:
58:
59: find . -name Makefile -exec chmod u+w {} \;
60: make depend
61: find . -name Makefile -exec chmod u-w {} \;
62:
63: 3) Go for it. In the top-level directory, type
64:
65: make
66:
67: This takes about forty minutes on a 4/260, and somewhat longer
68: on other Suns.
69:
70: 3) Exit suntools or whatever other window system you use.
71:
72: 4) On the console, or from an rlogin connection, start the server:
73:
74: clients/xinit/xinit
75: or
76: clients/xinit/xinit -- -dev /dev/??? [see below]
77:
78: If it's from the console, you probably want to redirect the
79: output thus:
80:
81: clients/xinit/xinit >& /tmp/x11.out
82:
83: 5) xinit should start up an xterm window that acts as a console. When
84: this xterm terminates, the xinit will kill the server. You can also
85: start up client programs from a terminal or rlogin, but you must
86: first set the DISPLAY environment variable:
87:
88: setenv DISPLAY unix:0
89: clients/xterm/xterm &
90:
91:
92: 6) In general, Xsun auto-configures to use all the available
93: framebuffers. In some circumstances, you may need to use a
94: -dev argument on the command line to prevent this:
95:
96: 3/110LC, 3/110C, 3/60C
97:
98: If you want to use color, use "xinit -- -dev /dev/cgfour0".
99: If you want to use monochrome, use "xinit -- -dev /dev/bwtwo0".
100:
101: GP, GP+, GP2
102:
103: If you have one of these GP's installed, use
104:
105: xinit -- -dev /dev/cgtwo0
106:
107: 7) To shut the server down, it it with a Hangup or Terminate signal.
108:
109: 8) Xsun coexists with the SunWindows environment. If you run Xsun
110: from a shell window under suntools, then Xsun will overlay that
111: desktop. If you have two desktops, then 'adjacentscreens' will still
112: be in effect. You may want to redirect the output of the server to a
113: window that is visible on another desktop.
114:
115: 9) If X crashes, it will leave the keyboard in a funny state. There is a
116: program called "kbd_mode" that will reset the mode of the keyboard.
117: "kbd_mode -a" is the appropriate setting for the bare console, and
118: "kbd_mode -e" is the appropriate setting for running with SunWindows.
119: You may have to issue this command from a terminal or from an rlogin
120: connection. If you run from the bare console, you can give the
121: command
122:
123: xinit ; kbd_mode -a
124:
125: so that the keyboard mode will ALWAYS be set properly when the server
126: terminates. The kbd_mode program is in the server/ddx/sun directory.
