92 | Installing the Md5/PCX Board and Driver in a Sun PCI Workstation
When you install a new driver on your system, it overwrites
the OWconfig file in /usr/openwin/server/etc . Copy this
section of the file to the /etc/openwin/server/etc
directory to ensure 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 will ignore them.
4.
Delete the pound sign ( # ) at the beginning of each line to
uncomment the lines.
5.
Edit the lines to match each device you installed, and save
your changes.
Modifying the OWconfig file
This section explains the first example from the sample code
above, line by line, and tells how to modify those lines to match
the devices you are installing.
class="XSCREENCONFIG" name="DOMEmd5pcx0Config"
The name provided here must be unique in the OWconfig file.
You can alter it as long as you select a name that is not being
used for any other XSCREENCONFIG sections.
device="/dev/md5pcx0.0"
This line indicates that the board is an Md5/PCX board that was
assigned the instance of zero (0) by the system. The second zero
(0) indicates that you are using the first head. To modify this line
for the device you are installing, replace the first zero (0) with the
instance your board was assigned by the system. For the second
head, replace the second zero (0) with a one (1).
