3. Paste the copy into this file and edit it there:
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig
If the
OWconfig
file already exists, append the copy to
the end of the file.
4. Delete the pound sign (
#
) at the beginning of each line to
comment out the lines.
5. Edit the lines to match each device you installed, and
save your changes.
To modify the OWconfig file
This section explains the first example from the preceding sample
code, line by line, and tells how to modify those lines to match
the devices you are installing.
class="XSCREENCONFIG" name="DOMEmd5dfp0Config"
The
name
provided here must be unique in the
OWconfig
file.
You can alter it as long as you select a
name
that is not being
used for any other
XSCREENCONFIG
section.
device="/dev/md5dfp0.0"
This line indicates the installation of an Md5/DFP board to
which the system assigned the instance of zero (0). The second
zero (0) indicates that you are using the first head. To modify this
line for the device you are installing, replace the first zero (0) with
the instance the system assigned to your board. For the second
head, replace the second zero (0) with a one (1).
When you install a new driver, it overwrites the
OWconfig
file in this directory:
/usr/openwin/server/etc
. Copy
this section of the file to the
/etc/openwin/server/etc
directory. This ensures that the changes you make will not
be overwritten when you update to newer versions of the
DOME driver. Make sure you edit these lines in the
/etc
directory only. If you comment out these lines in both
directories, your system ignores them.
