Chapter 4 – Invoking X Windows

4.3.4 Depth Options for I-Class Cards

I-Class Cards can be started up in 8-bit and MOX modes. On
these cards X Windows starts up in 8-bit mode by default. An
explanation of different MOX modes can be found in Section 4.4.

To start X Windows in MOX16 mode, set the STARSMODE
environment variable to +mox16 before starting up the X Server.

prompt#

setenv STARSMODE +mox16


To start the X Windows in MOX24 mode, set the STARSMODE
environment variable to +mox24 before starting up the X Server.

prompt# setenv STARSMODE +mox24

4.3.5 Editing the Xserver.conf File


As an alternative to specifying the resolution on the command
line, the X Windows configuration file Xserver.conf may be
edited. For example, to set the resolution to 1600x1200@60,
modify the last line in /var/X11/Xserver.conf as follows:

args<

-screen 1600x1200 –vsync 60 –pn
>


NOTE: The –pn option allows the X Server to come up even if it
cannot listen in on all ports. It is highly recommended.

The above changes will apply to all screens.
