4.4 Enabling MOX Extension During
X11R6.1 Server Startup
By default, the X11R6.1 server starts in an 8-bit mode. However,
on Raptor cards you may start the X11R6.1 server with MOX
extension enabled. (Details of the MOX Extension to X Server are
in separate technical white paper documentation.)
These MOX modes apply to all Raptor cards:
mox16
MOX, 8-bit Normal, 13-bit Group, 5-bit Absolute
mox24
MOX, 8-bit Normal, 21-bit Group, 13-bit Absolute
The Raptor 1100T, Raptor 2100T and Raptor 2500T can support
the following additional MOX mode.
mox32
MOX, 8-bit Normal, 29-bit Group, 21-bit Absolute
To enable MOX on a Raptor card, set the bit-depth to one of the
MOX modes. Please refer to Section 4.3.1 for details.
4.5 xdm
The X Display Manager (
xdm
) program is used for running multiple
users on the same host machine.
xdm
provides services similar to
those provided by
init
,
getty
and
login
on character terminals
prompting for login name and password, authenticating the user,
and running a
session . It provides a login window for each user or
selected users.
Several files that are required to start
xdm
are provided in the
directory
$X11R6HOME/lib/X11/xdm
. The configuration file
xdm-config
contains references to the other files and is used to
specify other configuration parameters of
xdm
. The
Xservers
file
specifies the users (displays) that must get a login window.
