- Welcome to the official Xnext 3.03 distribution!
-
- Xnext is an X server for OPENSTEP 4.2 platforms that supports various
- screen depths reflecting the different NeXT and DriverKit modes.
- An X screen that's realised as a window in the common OPENSTEP UI
- enables you to start and display X11 applications on your system.
-
-
- DISTRIBUTION PARTS
-
- Xnext consists of the following archive packages:
- X11R6.3-basic.m.NIS.b.tgz X11R6.3 basic distribution.
- X11R6.3-lib.m.NIS.b.tgz X11R6.3 shared libs and server info.
- X11R6.3-fonts.m.d.tgz X11R6.3 fonts and bitmap data.
- Xnext-server.[version].m.NIS.b.tgz The OPENSTEP X server application.
-
-
- In contrast to older Xnext distributions, the new version 3.00 and up only
- is tested on Intel platforms only and needs OPENSTEP (4.1 and 4.2 tested).
- For a Rhapsody/DR release, see the Rhapsody part of the Peanuts or Peak
- archives.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- To install Xnext on your computer system, you need access to the /usr folder.
- The X11R6.3 window system requires its files to be located under /usr/X11R6.3
- and you should add the binary path /usr/X11R6.3/bin to your path variable.
-
- Unpack the X11R6.3-[basic|lib|fonts] archives and make sure the
- /usr/X11R6.3 exists afterwards. If you want to put the archives' contents
- into some other folder, you can create a link in /usr to this location.
-
- To start up X applications from Terminal.app, you have to set the DISPLAY
- environment variable (e.g. using setenv in your .login or .cshrc file).
- The variable should have the format "localhost:0.0:, where localhost is your
- host name (try the hostname shell command in Terminal.app).
-
-
- RELEASE NUMBERS
-
- Currently, only the Xnext-server archive is expected to change in it's version
- number. All other archive files are a default X11R6.3 distribution, so the
- version number is 6.3.
