XCONFIG(8x)             COMMAND REFERENCE             XCONFIG(8x)



NAME
     xconfig - configure workstation for X windows operation

     For 4310, 4320, and 4330 series UTek products only.

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/xconfig [ -print ] [ -server server_name server_flags ]
     [ -console console_emulator console_flags ] [ -login
     login_emulator login_flags ]

DESCRIPTION
     A workstation is configured using xconfig, thereby enabling
     the workstation to use the X Window System software.  The
     program xconfig allows the user to set or change the
     following X attributes on the workstation.


                  X server to be enabled
                  Attributes of the X server
                  Terminal emulator for login window
                  Attributes of terminal emulator
                  Terminal emulator for console window
                  Attributes of terminal emulator

     The program xconfig writes those changes into the X.conf(5x)
     file.  When rebooted, rc.X(8x) is executed; xconfig then
     looks at the X.conf(5x) file to decide if and how the X
     window system should be started up.  After changing any
     necessary attributes the X window system must be restarted
     so that the server or terminal emulator may be replaced;
     this can be done by sending the hangup signal (SIGHUP) to
     the xstart(8x) process, if the system is currently running.
     This destroys any windows currently active and forces the
     display back to a login window.

     Typically, xconfig is invoked with no options.  The program
     prompts the user with questions to set the attributes
     mentioned.  First it asks for the name of the X window
     server to be started.  If the answer is  none,  no further
     questions are asked; any other string is assumed to be the
     name of the X server. The user is asked if the default
     command line options for the server are acceptable and
     allows replacing these if desired; xconfig then prompts for
     the terminal emulator to run in the login and console
     windows.  The user may accept the default command line
     options for the chosen terminal emulator or enter another
     set.

     The xstart process invoked from /etc/rc.X uses the
     X.conf(5x) file, starting the appropriate X window system
     processes.

XCONFIG(8x)             COMMAND REFERENCE             XCONFIG(8x)



OPTIONS
     Typically, the user would invoke xconfig without any
     switches.  The full list of capabilities follows:

     -print                             Prints the configuration
                                        values from the file
                                        X.conf(5x).

     -server server_name server_flags
                                        xconfig writes the name
                                        of the chosen server and
                                        options to be passed to
                                        the server in the
                                        X.conf(5x) file.

     -console console_name console_flags
                                        xconfig writes the name
                                        of the chosen terminal
                                        emulator to be used for
                                        the console window and
                                        options to be passed to
                                        the emulator in the
                                        X.conf(5x) file.

     -login login_name login_flags      xconfig writes the name
                                        of the chosen terminal
                                        emulator to be used for
                                        the login window and
                                        options to be passed to
                                        the emulator in the
                                        X.conf(5x) file.

FILES
     X.conf(5x)               This file is created by xconfig(8x)
                              and is used by xstart(8x) so that
                              the X window configuration is
                              remembered from one boot to the
                              next.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]                Command completed without error.

     [USAGE]                  Incorrect command line syntax.
                              Execution terminated.

     [P_ERR]                  A system error occurred.  Execution
                              terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                              information on system errors.

     [NP_WARN]                An error warranting a warning
                              message occurred.  Execution
                              continues.

XCONFIG(8x)             COMMAND REFERENCE             XCONFIG(8x)



CAVEATS
     No input validation is done for entered data.

     When the X window system is turned off using xconfig and
     xstart, the file /etc/ttys is modified and a SIGHUP signal
     is sent to the init process; this ensures that a user may
     login to the system.  The file /etc/ttys should never have
     the console device enabled for login when the X window
     system is running.
