When you install a new driver, it
overwrites the OWconfig file in
this directory:
/usr/openwin/server/etc
The OWconfig file in the directory
/etc/openwin/server/etc
remains unchanged. This ensures
that the changes you make will not
be overwritten when you update to
newer versions of the DOME driver.
Make sure you edit these lines in
the /etc directory only. If you
uncomment these lines in both
directories, your system ignores
them.
