Post-installation instructions for X.Org on OpenBSD/sparc
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Seting up X on sparc is easy:
Typical Xorg use on Sun sparc-based machines requires no configuration
file.
However, multi-headed configurations will require a configuration file.
Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf, with these two sections for each framebuffer:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Wsdisplay0"
Driver "wsfb"
Option "device" "/dev/ttyC0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Wsdisplay0"
EndSection
This example is for the first screen. For the others, increment the
"Wsdisplay" and "Screen" numbers, and change the device to /dev/ttyD0
for the second display, /dev/ttyE0 for the third, and so on.
Then, you'll need to create a ServerLayout section describing all the
displays and their location relative to the first, as in:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "wsfb"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0"
EndSection
See xorg.conf(5) for more options.
2. 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). It is necessary to disable
/dev/console in /etc/ttys, change the 'status' of /dev/console to 'off'.
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.
