has an 8-bit frame buffer and does not meet SPECTRUM requirements
(you must upgrade):
cgfour
cgthree
cgsix
If the output contains any of the following, your workstation has a 24-
bit frame buffer, and you can continue with step 3
:
afb
cgeight
ffb
gfxp
tcx
If the output contains m64, your workstation has an 8/24-bit frame
buffer that is configured for 8-bit operation, and you must perform
the following procedure before continuing with step 3
:
• As root, create an empty file named S99m64setup in the
/etc/rc2.d directory; then type the following within the
S99m64setup file:
prtcon -F | /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -q m64
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
m64config -depth 24 -res 1152 now
fi
• Change the file permission as follows:
chmod u=rwx, go=r S99m64setup
3. Check for the existence of the /etc/dt/config/Xservers file.
If it exists, make sure it contains the string that follows. This string
must be continuous and on one line. It forces the CDE Style Manager
to take full advantage of a 24-bit color card. (This string contains
zeros, not uppercase Os.)
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0
-nobanner -dev /dev/fb defclass TrueColor defdepth 24
4. Reboot the workstation.
Video card manufacturers write their card’s video driver to Sun’s standard
and therefore, the type of card is correctly returned in the above
