INVOKING X WINDOWS

4.1 Overview


There are several ways to invoke X Windows on your system:

startx

xinit

Common Desktop Environment (CDE)


This section assumes the use of the csh environment. If you prefer
a different shell, make the appropriate changes from the examples.

All of the examples in this section use the device names /dev

/raptor0 and /dev/rap1kt0

. Your device name may differ,

depending on the card type and instance number. Please refer to
Section 3.3 for specific device names.


4.2 Configuring X Windows

4.2.1 Single Screen Mode


Under HP-UX, the devices that X Windows will use are configured in
the file /etc/X11/X0screens. This file is used by the X Server
regardless of how it is invoked (e.g. startx, xinit, CDE, etc). Edit
the file /etc/X11/X0screens to configure display 0. For display

1

you would edit /etc/X11/X1screens.


This section assumes that display 0 is to be configured. To run X
Windows on the Raptor card only, comment out /dev/crt in

/etc/X11/X0screens

by placing a '#' at the beginning of that

line, and add the Raptor device by entering Screen

/dev/raptor0

on a new line:
