xetops Utility
The xetops utility might not be supported in a future release. The xetops utility converts an
Asian text le to a PostScript le. This conversion enables Asian characters to be printed on
PostScript printers that do not have resident Asian fonts.
Similar capability is provided in the mp command, which has been enhanced to support all of the
native Asian encodings with more options and functionality.
x86: Xsun DDX Modules, Library, and Related Files
Certain DDX modules for Xsun might be removed from a future Solaris release. These modules
are used when you congure the Xsun X server on the kdmcong screen, Video Device
Selection, by selecting an entry that is not prexed with “XF86.” The les aected by this notice
include the following:
■
Files in the /usr/openwin/server/modules directory whose names do not have the
ddxSUNWxf86 prex
■
The /usr/openwin/server/lib/libaccel.so.1 library
■
Files with the .xga sux under the
/usr/openwin/share/etc/devdata/SUNWaccel/boards directory
Sun recommends that for your preferred X server, use the Xorg X server whose DDX modules
provide comparable functionality to the Xsun X server. However, if you use the Xsun X server,
you can still use the XFree86 DDX modules. These are modules with the prex ddxSUNWxf86
and whose entries in the kdmcong screen, Video Device Selection, begin with “XF86.” These
modules provide comparable functionality to the Xsun DDX modules that might be removed.
