Post-installation instructions for X.Org on OpenBSD/alpha
|
||
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenBSD 3.7 and later uses the X.Org X server on alpha.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, TGA video hardware as well as a few VGA cards are
|
||
|
|
supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A special driver reproduces the functionality of Xtga in previous
|
||
|
|
releases: wsfb. It uses the TGA as a dumb framebuffer at 8 or 24 bits
|
||
|
|
per pixel, depending on the card model.
|
||
|
|
A default /etc/X11/xorg.conf is installed that uses this driver. So
|
||
|
|
you can just use 'startx' or xdm to start X without further
|
||
|
|
configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VGA cards support is available only on BWX based machines.
|
||
|
|
The following cards have been successfully tested for now:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 3DFX Interactive Banshee
|
||
|
|
* 3DLabs Permedia 2 (8, 15, 16 and 24 bits depth)
|
||
|
|
* ATI Rage Pro (works with 'Option "NoAccel"')
|
||
|
|
* ATI Rage 128
|
||
|
|
* Cirrus Logic CL5430 (works with 'Option "NoAccel"')
|
||
|
|
* Cirrus Logic GD5446 (8, 16 and 24 bits depth)
|
||
|
|
* Matrox MGA 2064 (8, 16 and 24 bits depth)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make sure your system has support for X enabled:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You must have 'option APERTURE' in your kernel configuration and
|
||
|
|
uncomment the line that says:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
machdep.allowaperture=1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in /etc/sysctl.conf. See xf86(4) for more details about security
|
||
|
|
issues related to this. After changing this variable in sysctl.conf,
|
||
|
|
you will need to reboot for the change to take effect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the tga(4) manual page for instructions on setting
|
||
|
|
the resolution of a TGA card.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Start either xdm(1) or startx(1).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a. Start xdm(1), the X display manager by activating the xdm_flags option
|
||
|
|
in /etc/rc.conf(8) or /etc/rc.conf.local(8). You need to disable
|
||
|
|
the getty process attached to /dev/ttyC0 if your video card is a TGA.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
b. Start startx(1) from a console shell. It is the X script that starts
|
||
|
|
the X server and a few X applications, including a window manager.
