Getting Started
Using Different Screen Environments
Using Different Screen Environments
Your SPARCbook’s built-in display operates in two modes: terminal
mode and Xwindows mode. The default mode is Xwindows mode.
When your system starts up, the Solaris login window allows you to
select the display mode from the
Option
menu.
Session
Allows you to select between the CDE or the
OpenWindows desktop environments, both of which
operate in Xwindows mode.
Command Line Login
Allows you to select the terminal mode. In this mode,
your display operates as a simple ASCII terminal and
displays the Solaris command line.
Note
If your SPARCbook starts at the command prompt, you can enter
OpenWindows by typing the command
openwin
.
The factory installed Solaris 2.5.1 may not have CDE installed. If you wish to use
CDE it must be installed from the supplied SunSoft CD-ROM.
Starting NCE
The Notebook Computing Environment (NCE) provides a suite of
graphical tools that make mobile system administration easier. For
example:
•
The Display Panel allows you to configure your system to
operate at different display resolutions.
•
The Save and Resume Panel allows you to configure the
operation of the Save and Resume feature.
For information about using NCE, refer to your NCE User Guide.
