2. Make a backup copy of the file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers .
Example:
# cp /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.original
3. Edit the file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers and add the appropriate X
server Option, "-screen0" and or "-vsync0" to the line that starts the X
server. This line is generally the last line in the file Xservers.
Example line from the Xservers file used with XDM/Motif.
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X
Or
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -nice -2
X server Options:
___________________________ Note ____________________________
•
These are device dependent X server options and not available for ALL graphics
options. Please refer to the Graphics options Owners/Installation Guide for
supported Resolutions and Refresh Rates.
•
The X server startup line in the Xservers file is as follows:
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X
•
Both the Width and Height should be specified in the "-screen" option and not just
the Width. On some X server graphics devices setting ONLY the Width will cause
the X server to fail.
•
The [screen] number need not be specified if only one screen exists or if the user
wants all screens to use the same values. The [screen] value is generally '0' as
shown in the example below.
Example:
-screen0 1280x1024
•
Anything added after the "-I" option will be ignored by the X server and passed on
to the DDX, Device Dependent X layer of the server, i.e. the driver. Generally this
option is used to pass "ffbdodma" settings for the graphics device. The "-screen"
and or "-vsync" option(s) should precede the "-I" option.
