NAME

Xhrc − Hercules Monochrome Smart Board Interface server for X11

SYNOPSIS

Xhrc [ option ] ... 

DESCRIPTION

Xhrc is the server for INTER­ACTIVE X11 running on an INTER­ACTIVE UNIX Operating System Version 2.2 or later, using a Hercules monochrome display adapter.  Xhrc operates on a 386- or 486-based ISA or EISA computer.  It is normally invoked by a program such as xinit(1) or by the INTER­ACTIVE Easy Windows Environment. 

OPTIONS

Options are described under Xserver(1).

CONFIGURATION

Xhrc requires the Type field in the configuration file (Xconfig(5)) to be HRC. 

The Info field is used to specify the resolution and number of colors to be used, and the width and height of of the attached monitor.  The format of this field is “XPIXELSxYPIXELS colors WIDTHxHEIGHT .” The WIDTHxHEIGHT argument is specified in whole inches.  The colors argument is 2. 

For example, the following configuration file entry fully specifies display 0 to be a standard HRC monochrome display 720 pixels wide by 348 pixels high on an Amdek 310a monitor:

display HRC "720x348 2 9x7" 0.0 /dev/console
mouse LOGI-S "1200 3" 0.0
keyboard AT "101" 0.0

Video Network Adapter (VNA) workstations are specified in the configuration file by indicating the VNA device name in place of /dev/console, i.e., /dev/vna00 for the first VNA display.  This example defines VNA unit 2 as display 2 with a LOGITECH serial mouse attached to the serial port:

display HRC "720x348 2 9x7" 2.0 /dev/vna20
mouse LOGI-S "1200 3" 2.0
keyboard AT "84" 2.0

Following this example, create a variable DISPLAY in your environment, equal to unix:2, where 2 is the VNA unit number.
