Configuring Display Settings
Before you configure your system for the Sun Common Desktop
Environment (CDE) or OpenWindows, you must set the display
mode for your board. DOME provides a default display mode
that you can either use or override as described in this section.
Read the following sections before you configure CDE or
OpenWindows:
• "Using the default display mode" (page 52)
• "Overriding the default display mode" (page 52)
• "Using Visual Classes" (page 56)
Then read the appropriate section for your windowing
environment:
• "To run OpenWindows" (page 60)
• "To configure CDE" (page 61)

Using the default display mode

DOME configures RX/PCI boards with default display modes
before shipment. When you use the RX/PCI board as the boot
console, you must connect the board to a display capable of using
this default mode. See "Changing the Console" on page 65 for
information about making the RX/PCI board the console
This table shows the default display mode for each board.

Overriding the default display mode
