3. For the changes to take effect immediately you must restart the X server so

that the new command file and changed settings will be used. The
command to do this is as follows:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART

The new file settings will now override the original default settings.


The DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP procedure contains documentation for
many of the default X server settings which may be changed. For more
information on making changes to the default settings, symbols, and system-
wide logicals, refer to the manual titled Managing DECwindows Motif for
OpenVMS Systems.
This document describes the symbols and settings that can
be changed in the DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file. For a copy of
the document, contact your local sales support representative or visit the
Compaq web site located at http://www.compaq.com.

Additional system logicals are described in
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$DEVICE_CONFIG_GF.COM.
However, this file should not be modified. If you wish to make changes to the
default logicals defined within it, redefine them in the
DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file. These changes will supersede
the logicals assigned in the device configuration file.

Some of the items that you can change via system logicals are described in the
device configuration file but are not normally defined in
DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM file. Those logical default settings
not defined in that file but that can be changed include the following items:

DECW$XSIZE_IN_PIXELS
DECW$YSIZE_IN_PIXELS
DECW$SERVER_REFRESH_RATE
DECW$SERVER_PIXEL_DEPTH
