Key Configuration Files

Most customization of your desktop environment can involve many files. The following files are two examples:

• /usr/dt/config/Xconfig

• /usr/dt/config/Xservers

Xconfig

Xconfig is the master configuration file used by dtlogin. It sets login resources and specifies locations of additional files required by dtlogin. The following example shows a few of the lines found in the default Xconfig file:

	Dtlogin.errorLogFile:       /var/dt/Xerrors

	Dtlogin.servers:            /usr/dt/config/Xservers

	Dtlogin*session:            /usr/dt/bin/Xsession

For more information about this file, refer to Appendix A, dtconfig(1) Man Page. You can also review the explanatory comments in the file itself.

Xservers

dtlogin, like XDM (X Display Manager) on which it is based, uses the Xservers file to specify how the local Xserver is started. By default, the last line in this file is:

:0 Local local@console /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0

• :0 means that the Xserver display is <localhost:0>.

• local indicates to start the new X11 server locally.

Replace local with foreign if you want to attach to a running X11 server.

• console means that the Command Line Login escape is to /dev/console.

• /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun is the path to the X11 server.

The Solaris CDE and OpenWindows^TM environments run the same X11 server.

Refer to the dtlogin(1) man page for more information about this file. You can also review the explanatory comments in the file itself.
