If you have a system with two frame buffers, you can run the OpenWindows
environment on one frame buffer and the SunView environment on the other.
Note that the names of the XView and SunView versions of the DeskSet tools
you will be running are the same.
You must make sure your
$path
is set up correctly to run the SunView versions
of the program on the SunView screen and the XView versions of the programs
on the OpenWindows screen. The SunView programs are located in /usr/bin;
that path must appear first in your path to run the SunView tools. The XView
programs are located in $OPENWINHOME/bin/xview; that path must appear
first in your path to run the XView tools. (The openwin command
automatically sets up your path when you start the system.)
Note – Steps 1 and 2 below are needed only if the OpenWindows environment
is invoked first.
The OpenWindows and SunView environments use different keyboard
encodings. Before you try to run the OpenWindows and SunView
environments at the same time, you should add an item to your SunView root
/usr/lib/.r
menu so that you can reset the keyboard encoding, if you need
to, using the
kbd_mode
command. If the
.rootmenu
file is owned by the user,
the file should be located under the user’s home directory. If the
.rootmenu
is
the default file, please copy the
.root
menu file to the users home directory
and edit the
/usr/lib/.rootmenu
file.
1. Add the following line to your
.rootmenu
file:
Now even if you cannot enter characters properly when you start up your
SunView environment, you will be able to reset the keyboard through the
root menu.
2. Save the file and exit your editor.
3. To start the OpenWindows environment on one frame buffer, execute the
openwin
command and specify the chosen frame buffer with the -dev
option. For example:
"Reset Keyboard" $OPENWINHOME/bin/kbd_mode -e
