OPENWINDOWS

4.1 Overview


This section describes how to start up OpenWindows on the
Raptor cards. The examples in this chapter use

rapdlt0

as the

device name but the device name of your card may be different
depending on the instance number.

4.1.1 Raptor as the Console


If the Raptor is the console, type:

prompt# openwin

4.1.2 Raptor as the Secondary Framebuffer


If the PGX (Sun Microsystem’s on board video card) card is the
console and the Raptor is the second card, to start OpenWindows
on both cards, in multi-screen mode, type:

prompt# openwin -dev /dev/fbs/m640 \

-dev /dev/fbs/rapdlt0


The assigned OpenWindows screen numbers correspond to the
order of the devices on the command line.

NOTE: In the above example, the

raptor

device instance

number is 0. This may be different in your configuration. Please
check in

/dev/fbs/

or

dmesg

for the correct device instance

numbers on your system.
