Contents of README:A joint production of: Adam de Boor University of California, Berkeley David Rosenthal Stuart Marks Robin Schaufler Mike Schwartz Frances Ho Geoff Lee Mark Opperman Sun Microsystems Bob Scheifler MIT Laboratory for Computer Science Keith Packard This version of the Sun X11 drivers uses ../mi, ../mfb and ../cfb to support the following configurations: Sun/2 bw2 cg2/3/5 Sun/3 bw2 cg2/3/4/5 Sun/4 bw2 cg2/4 SPARCstation cg3/6 Sun/386i mono color The following configurations are NOT supported: Sun/1 bw1 cg1 (requires separate port) Sun/2 gp (use /dev/cgtwo0) Sun/3 gp (use /dev/cgtwo0) Sun/4 gp (use /dev/cgtwo0) The mfb and cfb code has been substantially tuned for 1- and 8-bit framebuffers (with code for both fast and slow cpu-to-memory ratios). It installs and runs on these configurations under SunOS 3.2, 3.4, and 4.0. However, we must stress that it is completely unsupported, and if you have problems installing or using it you are on your own. Things to check before building: 1) config/sun.cf - set the SunOSMajorVersion and SunOSMinorVersion parameters to the right values. 2) config/Project.tmpl - check LIBDIR, FONTDIR, etc.; set define LibDir, FontDir, etc. in site.def as required. Then build the system by: 1) Go for it. In the top-level directory, type make World This takes about forty minutes on a 4/260, and somewhat longer on other Suns. 2) Go for it. In the top-level directory, type make install Otherwise, you'll want to create a bunch of symbolic links to the various executables and data files scattered throughout the hierarchy. 3) On the console, or from an rlogin connection, put whatever you chose for BINDIR (in Imake.tmpl) in your search path, and then start the server: xinit or xinit -- -dev /dev/??? [see below] If it's from the console, you probably want to redirect the output thus: xinit >& /tmp/x11.out 4) xinit should start up an xterm window that acts as a console. When this xterm terminates, the xinit will kill the server. You can also start up client programs from a terminal or rlogin, but you must first set the DISPLAY environment variable: setenv DISPLAY unix:0 xterm & 5) Make sure that you have special devices in /dev for the appropriate framebuffer. See the manual page for Xsun for details or run the constype program. VME systems require special .o files when more than one of a particular frame buffer type is installed. 6) In general, Xsun auto-configures to use all the available framebuffers (see the Xsun manual page). In some circumstances, you may need to use the -dev switch on the command line to specify a specific device to use. In particular, on the GP, GP+, and GP2, you'll need to specify -dev /dev/cgtwo0 your xdm Xservers file or your xinit script. 7) To shut the server down, send it a Hangup or Terminate signal. 8) If X crashes, it will leave the keyboard in a funny state. There is a program called "kbd_mode" that will reset the mode of the keyboard. "kbd_mode -a" is the appropriate setting for the bare console, and "kbd_mode -e" is the appropriate setting for running with SunWindows. You may have to issue this command from a terminal or from an rlogin connection. If you run from the bare console, you can give the command xinit ; kbd_mode -a so that the keyboard mode will ALWAYS be set properly when the server terminates. |
