instance, if you have a three channel system, but you want to
temporarily set the configuration to use only two of the channels, you
could save the current X0screens file and move a two channel
template into place:

cp /etc/X11/X0screens /etc/X11/X0screens.orig

cd /usr/lib/X11/Xserver/misc/slsd/templates

cp X0screens.p16c2 /etc/X11/X0screens

. . . or

ln -s /etc/X11/X0screens.16c2 /etc/X11/X0screens

NOTE

Early versions of SLS/d required the

/etc/X11/X0devices

and

/etc/X11/X0screens

files on the slave systems to be edited. This is

no longer necessary, since the master system uses the information in
its X0screens file to do automatic configuration on the slaves via the
X server.

changing resolution

Use one of the methods below to specify the resolution in the

/etc/X11/X0screens

file. Each method automatically sets all graphics

cards in the hp visualization center sv6 configuration to the specified
resolution. If no video timing information is specified, the default
settings will be used.

Do not use the setmon program to change resolutions on your systems. It
does not have the functionality to change all necessary settings.

Standard Resolutions:

To set a standard resolution, add the following lines to the

ScreenOptions

section of the

/etc/X11/X0screens

file. The

example below is the default for fx

10

graphics cards in an hp

visualization center sv6 configuration (1280x1024 at 75 Hz):
