Patch Installation Instructions: -------------------------------- Refer to the man pages for instructions on using 'patchadd' and 'patchrm' scripts provided with Solaris. Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below as special instructions. The following example installs a patch to a standalone machine: example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02 The following example removes a patch from a standalone system: example# patchrm 104945-02 For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages. Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- NOTE 1: This patch updates the workspace menu and front panel to incorporate the new Removable Media support. In order to get the complete support for the new Removable Media functionality, you must either upgrade to (at least) Solaris 8 6/00 or install the following patches in addition to this patch: 109166-01 (or newer): CDE 1.4: dtfile Patch 109168-01 (or newer): CDE 1.4: Desktop Help Update Patch 108971-01 (or newer): /usr/lib/fs/pcfs/fsck and /usr/lib/fs/pcfs/mkfs patch 108973-01 (or newer): /sbin/fdisk patch 108969-01 (or newer): vol/vold/rmmount patch 108976-01 (or newer): /usr/bin/rmformat and /usr/sbin/format patch If you do not install the other patches, you may no longer be able to open CD-ROM or floppy disks from the CDE workspace menu or front panel. NOTE 2: In order to get complete support for the audio control keys (bug 4261430), install the following patch in addition to this patch: 108924-01 (or newer): CDE 1.4_x86: dtwm audio control patch NOTE 3: In order to get full xinerama support (bug 4293551), install the following patches in addition to this patch: 109355-05 (or newer): CDE 1.4_x86: dtsession patch 108920-05 (or newer): CDE 1.4_x86: dtlogin patch NOTE 4: In order to get full functionality of fix 4743546, install the following patch in addition to this patch: 109355-16 (or newer): CDE 1.4_x86: dtsession patch Special Notes: -------------- NOTE 1: RFE 4293551 dtsession in xinerama mode should (optionally) not center the logout dialog box ===================================================================== Sun(tm) delivers a version of CDE that has been extended to provide some basic support when run in multi-headed Xinerama mode. This support is to make the positioning of the following CDE dialogs resource configurable: - Login (a.k.a. dtgreet) - Logout Confirmation - Unlock Display - Restart Workspace Confirmation - Move/Resize Coordinates. The reason for making these dialogs configurable in terms of their window positioning is obvious, they are all non-movable. That is, these dialogs are all centered in the logical screen regardless of the number of physical monitors available. Without the ability to configure these dialogs, they will be split across monitors and will cause many ease-of-use issues. CDE patches (108922-08, 109355-05, 108920-05, or newer) and the Xsun patch (108653-18, or newer), when installed together, allow the user to configure the positioning of the previously mentioned dialogs using the following X resources: xineramaDefaultFramebuffer xineramaCenterHintX xineramaCenterHintY Resource Description ======================== If the xineramaDefaultFramebuffer resource has a value between 0 and (n-1), within the Xinerama screen, then dialogs will be centered on that framebuffer. If the xineramaDefaultFramebuffer resource has a value of -1, then dialogs will be centered using the values in xineramaCenterHintX and xineramaCenterHintY. To set resources system-wide, copy Xresources and sys.resources from /usr/dt/config/C to /etc/dt/config/C and add the appropriate lines. Setting resources in the Xresources file affects Login, while setting them in sys.resources affects Logout Confirmation, Unlock Display, Restart Workspace Confirmation, and Move/Resize Coordinates. Note that the resources for dtlogin, and thus the position of the Login dialog, cannot be set on a per-user basis on a single machine because dtgreet is run from root before the user is identified. The position of the other dialogs can be set on a per-user basis by creating or modifying the appropriate resource files in the user's HOME directory, .Xdefaults. The X resources have no effect if Xinerama is not being used or if their default values are -1. Example of using these resources ================================ The following are a few examples assuming a two-headed system. 1) To set Login, Logout Confirmation, Restart Workspace Manager Confirmation, Unlock Display and the Resize/Move Coordinate dialogs centered on the first screen: *xineramaDefaultFramebuffer: 0 in both Xresources and sys.resources files. Alternatively to have these dialogs centered on the second screen: *xineramaDefaultFramebuffer: 1 in both Xresources and sys.resources files. 2) If desired, these dialogs do not have to be centered on a particular screen. Instead you can position them anywhere within the entire Xinerama screen by setting their X and Y coordinates. Taking a two-headed system, each screen is 1024 pixels high by 1024 pixels wide, it is possible to place the dialogs in the lower left part of the second screen. To position the dialogs 100 pixels to the left of the second screen and 200 pixels from the bottom, set the following resources: *xineramaDefaultFramebuffer: -1 *xineramaCenterHintX: 1124 *xineramaCenterHintY: 824 README -- Last modified date: Thursday, April 1, 2004
