2.2.1 Before You Can Use AccessX on Solaris Systems

If you are using the desktop for the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 operating system, you must enable XKB on your system before you can use the AccessX preference tool.

XKB is not currently supported on Sun Ray^TM systems.

To enable XKB on a non-Sun Ray Solaris system, perform the following steps:

1. Log in as root.

2. Check if the path and file /etc/dt/config/Xservers exists on your system.

3. If the /etc/dt/config directory does not exist, enter the following command:

   mkdir -p /etc/dt/config

4. If the Xservers file is not present, enter the following command:

   cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers

5. Open the Xservers file in a text editor and scroll to the end of the file.

6. Append the following to the command line at the end of the file:

   +kb

7. Save and close the file.

8. Enter the following command at a command line:

   pkill -HUP dtlogin

9. Log out of your session and log in again.

10. To verify if XKB is running, execute the following command:

    xdpyinfo

    then search for XKEYBOARD in the extensions list.
