If you are using the desktop
for the Solaris operating system on a SPARC platform, you must enable XKB
on your system before you can use the AccessX
preference
tool, Screen Reader and Magnifier
, or On-Screen Keyboard
.
XKB is not currently supported on Sun RayTM systems.
To enable XKB on a non-Sun Ray Solaris system, perform the following steps:
Log in as the root user.
Check if the path and file /etc/dt/config/Xservers exists on your system.
If the /etc/dt/config directory does not exist, enter the following command:
mkdir -p /etc/dt/config |
If the Xservers file is not present, enter the following command:
cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers |
Open the Xservers file in a text editor and scroll to the end of the file.
Append the following to the command line at the end of the file:
+kb |
Save and close the Xservers file.
Enter the following command at a command line:
pkill -HUP dtlogin |
Open the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file in a text editor.
Scroll towards the end of the file until you see the line [server - standard].
Edit the command line in this section to append the following to the end of the line:
+accessx +kb
Save and close the gdm.conf file.
Log out of your session and log in again.
To verify if XKB is running, execute the following command:
xdpyinfo
then search for XKEYBOARD in the extensions list.
