-
- Because you want to install only the patches for problems
- you have encountered, patch software is not installed by
- default. After reading the descriptions of the bugs fixed
- in this patch (see Section 1.3), determine the patches that
- meet your specific needs.
-
- If, after reading Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of these release
- notes, you are unsure whether your hardware and software
- meet the requirements for installing a particular patch, run
- _i_n_s_t. The _i_n_s_t program does not allow you to install
- patches that are incompatible with your hardware or
- software.
-
- Patch software is installed like any other Silicon Graphics
- software product. Follow the instructions in your _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e
- _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _A_d_m_i_n_i_s_t_r_a_t_o_r'_s _G_u_i_d_e to bring up the miniroot

- form of the software installation tools.
-
- Follow these steps to select a patch for installation:
-
- 1. At the Inst> prompt, type
-
- iiiinnnnssssttttaaaallllllll ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- 2. Initiate the installation sequence. Type
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> ggggoooo
-
- 3. You may find that two patches have been marked as
- incompatible. (The installation tools reject an
- installation request if an incompatibility is
- detected.) If this occurs, you must deselect one of
- the patches.
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> kkkkeeeeeeeepppp ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- 4. After completing the installation process, exit the
- _i_n_s_t program by typing
-
- IIIInnnnsssstttt>>>> qqqquuuuiiiitttt

-
-
- 1.6 _P_a_t_c_h__R_e_m_o_v_a_l__I_n_s_t_r_u_c_t_i_o_n_s
-
- To remove a patch, use the _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e command as you
- would for any other software subsystem. The removal process
- reinstates the original version of software unless you have
- specifically removed the patch history from your system.
-
- vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x
-
- where _x_x_x_x_x_x_x is the patch number.
-
- To keep a patch but increase your disk space, use the
- _v_e_r_s_i_o_n_s _r_e_m_o_v_e_h_i_s_t command to remove the patch history.
-
- vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnnssss rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeeehhhhiiiisssstttt ppppaaaattttcccchhhhSSSSGGGG_x_x_x_x_x_x_x

-
- The Sony GDM 24W1 monitor can display a screen size of
- 1600x1024 pixels. However, this screen size is possible
- only on OCTANE SSI and OCTANE MXI systems. Also, even on
- SSI and MXI systems, the default screen size will be
- 1280x1024, unless the user first executes the following
- command as root
-
-
- ////uuuussssrrrr////ggggffffxxxx////sssseeeettttmmmmoooonnnn ----xxxx 1111666600000000xxxx1111000022224444____77772222
-
- and then restarts the window system. _R_e_s_t_a_r_t_i_n_g _t_h_e _w_i_n_d_o_w
- _s_y_s_t_e_m is accomplished by either (1) logging out and then
- logging back in again, using the desktop, or (2) restarting
- the X server.
-
- Do not run IrisGL or OpenGL programs while performing the
- install of this patch. Doing so runs the risk of a graphics
- crash and/or the termination of those applications. After
- installation, reboot to ensure that your kernel, microcode
- and OpenGL library are in sync before running graphics
- applications.

- Remote display defaults to head 0. The .login file sets
- DISPLAY to $REMOTEDISPLAY:0, #524101. To use remote display
- on head 1, modify .login to use $REMOTEDISPLAY:0 or
- $REMOTEDISPLAY:1.

- If a user logs out on head 1, while clogin is sitting on
- head 0, the icons will not reappear on head 1 until someone
- logs in on head 0, #487583. This problem has been fixed in
- the release that follows IL 3.1.1.
-
- A temporary workaround to this problem :
-
- Edit the file /var/X11/xdm/Xlogin script (back-up the file
- before any editing the Xlogin file). Change the following
- line in the Xlogin file from :
-
- eeeexxxxeeeecccc ////uuuussssrrrr////CCCCaaaaddddmmmmiiiinnnn////bbbbiiiinnnn////ccccllllooooggggiiiinnnn ----ffff $$$$1111
