Configuring a 24-bit Color Card
To allow your Sun workstation to display more colors with the windowing
manager, be certain your 24-bit color card has been configured to do so. If
you purchase a 24-bit color card, be certain to follow all installation
instructions in the manual that comes with the card.
If a 24-bit color card is already installed but your workstation is not in
24-bit color mode, complete the following configuration instructions:
1 Become root
2 Create your own, user’s defined config file by typing at the command
line:
mkdir -p /etc/dt/config
3 Navigate to the new config file by typing:
cd /etc/dt/config
4 Create a file and name it Xservers by typing:
vi Xservers
5 Enter the following one line string in the new Xservers file:
Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0
-nobanner -dev /dev/fb 0 defclass TrueColor defdepth 24
Save and exit the Xservers file.
The above string must be one continuous string on one line. It forces
the windowing manager to take full advantage of a 24-bit color card.
The string contains zeros, NOT uppercase o’s.
6 Reboot or restart the Xserver.
Note:
Note:
A 24-bit color card is required for SPECTRUM. This allows more
colors to be displayed.
