- How to setup your account to use X11R4 on Sprite.
-
- Step 0) - (Only needed until /dev/fb is implemented.) If your machine is not
- a standard monochrome display be sure that there is an entry for
- it in /X11/R4/lib/fbtypes.
-
- Step 1) - Add /X11/R4/cmds to your path. If you path contains X11R3 or X11R2
- binaries be sure that /X11/R4/cmds is before these.
-
- Step 2) - There seems to be about ten different ways of starting X. Here's the
- one I use: Type "xinit". If you would like something more than a
- single "tx" window at start up, create a script named ".xinitrc".
- Xinit will run this script and when the script exits so will the
- X server. A sample .xinitrc file can be found in ~newuser/.xinitrc
- This .xinitrc runs the script $HOME/.xsetup. A sample .xsetup file
- can be found in ~newuser/.xsetup.
-
- Notes:
- 1) If you have a file named ".xserverrc" in your home directory it
- will most likely break something. Please delete it.
- Users with accounts that start with dedood, drewes, elm, hunt,
- johnw, krste, leong, sah, schauser, ss, tve, or wlo should follow
- this note.
- 2) The X11 R4 twm is not totally backward compatible with the new twm.
- The problem that bites most people is lines in the .twmrc like:
-
- Button1 = mc : window : f.resize
-
- are no longer legal. The correct form is:
-
- Button1 = m | c : window : f.resize
