Operating Systems Solaris How to configure Xorg and fvwm on x86 Solaris 10 update 10? Post 303028075 by vectrum on Sunday 30th of December 2018 03:21:14 PM

jlliagre,

Thank you very much for your help.
It worked exactly what I wanted.

Please tell me which directory I should keep the script in.

I kept it in /usr/dt/bin, named it startx and manually called it (being root of course).
It fired X and xterm appeared but everything was so small and barely readable so I tried to
reconfigure X and miserably failed as I forgot to copy config file that was overwritten
and the error was "/usr/X11/lib/module//amd64/libpcidata.so"
failed to load "pcidata" (loader failed 7).

When I'd started X from your script, mouse'd been working but, later, it stopped working.
I'm going to reinstall the os.

Please tell me where I should put the script.
I, being a non-root user, want to start X from command line.


Thanks again.

P.S I haven't got stable internet connection so I downloaded update 10 because of
the dvd of packages sunfreeware offered. It was the last disc of extra open source
packages. They no longer provide dvd or cd free of cost. I couldn't
download from OpenCSW for the lack of internet connection.

NAME
cdde - Compact Disc Detect & Execute SYNOPSIS
cdde [-c filename] [-rbvVh] DESCRIPTION
cdde is a program that detects when a cdrom drive on your system has had a disc inserted. When it finds a disc inserted in the drive it will attempt to determine the type of the disc, and execute a specified command. This means you can put in a dvd and your favorite dvd software will start, or put in a data cd and it will be automatically mounted for you. Right now cdde can detect the following types of discs: * audio cd * data cd * dvd * mixed audio/data cd * vcd * svcd * blank cdr/dvdr For now the dvd checking is just a bit of magic that checks to see if there's a "video_ts" directory on the disc. Same goes for the vcd checking: it just looks for a "vcd" directory on the disc. cdde reads its configuration from "~/.cdde.xml" unless otherwise specified on the command line. OPTIONS
-r, --run Run commands on disc already in drive when is started. -b, --batch Batch mode: check all drives once then exit. (implies -r) -c, --config <filename> Use the config file <filename>. (Default is ~/.cdde.xml) -v, --verbose Print out lots of information. -V, --version Print out version information. -h, --help Print Display this help and exit. FILES
~/.cdde.xml SEE ALSO
