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 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. |
