4.6 Common Desktop Environment (CDE)


Common Desktop Environment (CDE) is available with AIX and is
independent of the Raptor software. In order to use CDE, you need
to configure only

/usr/dt/config/Xservers

file. The example

below shows how to modify

Xservers

file to start CDE on Raptor

2100T.

:0 local /usr/x11R6.1/bin/Xtsi –Pll rap2kt0 :0


CDE can be started by typing:

prompt# /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin


4.6.1 MOX Mode Using CDE


In order to enable MOX when using CDE, you must make use of
the

StartWin

script installed in

/usr/X11R6.1/etc

. The

Xservers

file should be modified as follows:

:0 local /usr/X11R6.1/bin/StartWin:0


Additional command line options can be appended at the end of
this line. The following example

StartWin

script will start up the

X Server in mox24 mode.

#!/bin/sh
STARSMODE=+mox24
export

STARSMODE

pass=“/usr/X11R6.1/bin/Xtsi”$*
exec

$pass


NOTE: By default, the

StartWin

script starts up the X Server in

mox24 mode. It can be edited in order to support other MOX
modes.
