procedure. If the type returned for your card is different from types listed
above, contact the video card manufacturer for instructions on how to
configure it for 24-bit, true color capability.
Configuring 24-Bit Color Mode
If a 24-bit color card is installed, but your workstation is not in 24-bit color
mode, follow these configuration instructions:
1. Log on as root.
2. Create your own, user-defined configuration directory, by running the
following command:
mkdir -p /etc/dt/config
3. Navigate to the new configuration directory; then run the following
command:
cd /etc/dt/config
4. Create the file Xservers by running the following command:
vi Xservers
5. Type the following string in the new Xservers file. 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
6. Save and exit the Xservers file.
7. Restart the X server.
If your workstation is still not in 24-bit color mode after following
installation instructions in the video card manual, or after editing the
/etc/dt/config file, contact your Sun Microsystems representative.
