Configuring the Windowing Environment
After you set the monitor mode, you can configure your
system to run either the OpenWindows or CDE windowing
environment.
To support color with the Md4/PCX board, you must use
only one head per board. If you are using two heads per
board, both heads must be grayscale, and both must have
the same resolution.

For a one-headed system, type:
openwin -dev /dev/md4pcx0.0
