Configuring the Windowing Environment
Once you have set the monitor mode, configure your system to
run either the OpenWindows or CDE windowing environment.
To support color with the Md5/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.
To run OpenWindows
For a one-headed system, type:
openwin -dev /dev/md5pcx0.0
For a two-headed system, type:
openwin -dev /dev/md5pcx0.0 -dev /dev/md5pcx0.1
Each screen has a name of the form:
/dev/md5pcxy.z
where
= board instance
y
= head number (0 for first head, 1 for second head)
z
Board instances are assigned by the system.
For more information on openwin , refer to your Sun
OpenWindows documentation.
