- These Apple X11 drivers support 1 and 8 bit deep screens on Macintosh hardware
- running A/UX. Multiple screens of any size and both depths are accomodated.
-
- To run X you'll need a "network" kernel. Either the B-NET or the NFS kernel
- described in the A/UX Release Notes is sufficient. As a check, you must
- be able to successfully "rlogin" to A/UX from its own console. This
- requirement holds whether or not you have an Ethernet card or connection.
-
- Running the X server and the usual suite of clients requires at least 4MB
- of RAM. A 4MB system will thrash if the A/UX kernel tables are too large.
- The default table sizes do not lead to thrashing, but if you have adjusted
- these sizes using "kconfig" you may wish to restore the moderate default
- allocations.
-
- Build the system by:
-
- 1) As super-user, run the script R4setup.sh located in this directory.
- Now leave super-user mode. This should only ever be done once on a
- machine.
-
- 2) In the top-level directory, type:
-
- alias make "make SHELL=/bin/sh"
- make BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS=-DmacII -k World >>& MakeLog
-
- This takes several hours. Many files will generate warnings about
- "enumeration type clashes". This is a misfeature in the C compiler
- and can safely be ignored.
-
- 3) As super-user, in the top-level directory, type:
-
- make -k install
-
- 4) Copy the file /usr/lib/X11/.x11start to your home directory
- (.x11start invokes the initial clients and determines their
- positions on the screen.) .x11start attempts to use the "twm"
- window manager. You may choose to run another window manager by
- simply adjusting .x11start.
-
- 5) On the console put /usr/bin/X11, (or whatever else you may have
- chosen for BINDIR in Imake.tmpl) in your search path, and then
- start the server:
-
- X11R4
-
- 6) X11R4 should start up an xterm window named "console" that acts as a
- console. When this xterm terminates, the xinit will kill the server.
- You can also start up client programs from a terminal or rlogin,
- but be sure the DISPLAY environment variable is set:
-
- setenv DISPLAY unix:0.0
- xterm &
-
-
- Many X clients assume the mouse has three buttons. The A/UX X server simulates
- the middle and right mouse buttons with keystrokes -- the left-arrow key
- generates middle button events, and the right-arrow key generates right button
- events -- the real mouse button generates left button events. The
- open-apple or cloverleaf key is the "Meta" modifier, Meta can also be obtained
- by pressing the up-arrow key. The down-arrow key duplicates the Control key.
- Meta, Control, and Shift are often used in combination with other keystrokes
- or mouse clicks. For example, the terminal emulator xterm pops up menus in
- response to control-left and control-middle. The original function of the
- arrow keys may be obtained by holding down the Option key while pressing
- one of the arrow keys.
