Overriding Default Settings
To override any of the default settings, follow these steps:
1. Copy or rename the
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE file to create a
new command (.com) file called DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM.
2. Now make the edits for the settings you want to change using a text editor, and save the
file.
3. For the changes to take effect immediately you must restart the X server so that the new
command file and changed settings will be used. The command to do this is as follows:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART
The new file settings will now override the original default settings.
The DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP procedure contains documentation for many of
the default X server settings that may be changed. For more information on making changes
to the default settings, symbols, and system-wide logicals, refer to the manual titled
Managing DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Systems. This document describes the
symbols and settings that can be changed in the DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
file. For a copy of the document, contact your local sales support representative or visit the
HP Web site located at http://www.hp.com.
Additional system logicals are described in
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$DEVICE_CONFIG_GH.COM.
However, this file should not be modified. If you wish to make changes to the default
logicals defined within it, redefine them in the DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
file. These changes will supersede the logicals assigned in the device configuration file.
Some of the items that you can change via system logicals are described in the device
configuration file but are not normally defined in
DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file. Those logical default settings include the
following items:
DECW$XSIZE_IN_PIXELS
DECW$YSIZE_IN_PIXELS
DECW$SERVER_REFRESH_RATE
DECW$SERVER_PIXEL_DEPTH
4-6 ATI RADEON 7500 AGP and PCI Graphics Controllers
