Overriding the Default Monitor Mode
Editing the OWconfig file
To override the default monitor mode and customize your
configuration for either CDE or OpenWindows, you must edit
the
OWconfig
file.
This file is located in the
/usr/openwin/server/etc
directory
on the workstation.
To edit the OWconfig file
1.
Check to see if the
/etc/openwin/server/etc
directory
exists on your workstation. If not, you must log on as
root
and create the missing directories with
mkdir
.
2.
Find these lines of the
OWconfig
file in
/usr/openwin/ \
server/etc
, and make a copy of them:
#class="XSCREENCONFIG" name="DOMEmd2pci0Config"
#
device="/dev/md2pci0.0"
#
res="1024x768 @ 70Hz"
#
monitor="domecolr.vda"
#
board="md2pci-2hd.xqa";
#class="XSCREENCONFIG" name="DOMEmd2pci1Config"
#
device="/dev/md2pci0.1"
#
res="1024x768 @ 70Hz"
#
monitor="domecolr.vda"
#
board="md2pci-2hd.xqa";
3.
Paste the copy into
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig
,
and edit it there. If the
OWconfig
file exists, append the
copy to the end of the file.
To start CDE or OpenWindows using the default monitor
mode, skip this section.
When you modify this code, type it on one line. A backslash (\)
indicates continuation of the line.
