Full Discussion: Multi Screen Mouse Movement Settings
Operating Systems Solaris Multi Screen Mouse Movement Settings Post 302384646 by corpen on Wednesday 6th of January 2010 04:05:09 AM

file: /etc/dt/config/Xservers file does NOT exist
content of file: /usr/dt/config/Xservers is:

Code:
 :0	Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner

Thus, I assume that it is not the file where the multiscreen mode is configured...

The dual screens are setup when the user is logged in. So may be the configuration should be corrected in the starting scripts from the user home directory?? I include the code of two user scripts that may be responsible for starting the multiscreen mode...

.5profile.sh

Code:
if [ "`tty`" = "/dev/console" ]; then
            if [ ! -f /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin ]; then
	       rm -f /tmp/.openwin.log /tmp/.openwin.err
	       touch /tmp/.openwin.log /tmp/.openwin.err
	       chmod 777 /tmp/.openwin.log /tmp/.openwin.err
               if [ -c /dev/fb0 ] && [ -c /dev/fb1 ] ; then
                   exec openwin -core -clients 1024 -bs -lf 0 -dev /dev/fb0 defclass TrueColor defdepth 24 -dev /dev/fb1 right  defclass TrueColor defdepth 24 -nobanner >>/tmp/.openwin.log 2>>/tmp/.openwin.err
                   # exec openwin -bs -lf 0 -dev /dev/fb0 -dev /dev/fb1 right -nobanner >>/tmp/.openwin.log 2>>/tmp/.openwin.err
               else
		   echo "Cannot open x xerver on /dev/fb0 and /dev/fb1 (right), using one screen (/dev/fb0)" >>/tmp/.openwin.err
                   exec openwin -dev /dev/fb0  >>/tmp/.openwin.log 2>>/tmp/.openwin.err
               fi
	       exit
             fi
          fi


.9xinitrc.init

Code:
# -- disable screen saver
xset s off

# -- disable power management for Solaris > 5.8
xset -dpms -fbpm 2>/dev/null

# -- set first screen to gray
xsetroot -solid gray

# -- set cursor to red
xsetroot -cursor_name top_left_arrow -fg red -bg white

# -- set second screen (if available) to gray
xsetroot -solid gray -display unix:0.1 2>/dev/null

# -- set cursor on second screen (if available) tored
xsetroot -cursor_name top_left_arrow -fg red -bg white -display unix:0.1 2>/dev/null

# -- open the screen to all applicatons
