INVOKING X11R6.1
4.1 Overview
There are several ways to invoke X11R6.1 on your system:
• xinit
• xdm
• Common desktop Environment (CDE)
• All of the above with MOX extension enabled
Important: For all these methods, there are some environment
variables that must be set. These can be set in your .cshrc file.
prompt% setenv X11R6HOME /usr/X11R6.1
prompt% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH \
prompt% set path=($X11R6HOME/bin $path)
The Xtsi server is provided in the $X11R6HOME/bin directory.
The examples used in this chapter refer to the device rap2kt0.
Your actual device name will vary according to the Raptor card type
and the instance number.
4.2 xinit
The xinit program can be directly used to start the X Window
System server. The xinit format is as follows:
xinit [[client] options] [ -- [server]
[display] options ]
$X11R6HOME/lib
4-1
Raptor X11R6.1 for AIX Installation Manual
If no specific client program is given on the command line, xinit
will look for a file in the user's home directory called .xinitrc to
run as a shell script to start up client programs. If no such file
exists, xinit will use the following as a default:
xterm -geometry +1+1 -n login -display :0
If no specific server program is given on the command line, xinit
will look for a file in the user's home directory called .xserverrc
to run as a shell script to start up the server. If no such file exists,
xinit will use the following as a default:
X :0
Note that this assumes that there is a program named X in the
current search path. The X11R6.1 server in this software is called
Xtsi and is in the directory $X11R6HOME/bin. A symbolic link
has been made from X to Xtsi.
To startup the server using xinit, type:
prompt% xinit -- $X11R6HOME/bin/Xtsi -P11
You may add any other command line arguments to the end of the
line. For additional information on xinit, refer to the xinit man
page.
The X server can run in multi-screen mode. The example below
shows how to start on Raptor 2100T and Raptor 1100T:
prompt% xinit -- $X11R6HOME/bin/Xtsi –P11 rap2kt0
NOTE: The Raptor 2000 and Raptor 200-12M cards cannot be
used in multi-screen configurations.

4.3 Setting Bit-Depth and Resolution
4.3.1 Setting Bit-Depth
Raptor cards support various bit-depths and overlay configurations.
This section describes the required settings for these
configurations. The default bit-depth for all Raptor cards is 8-bit.
4.3.1.1 Setting Bit-Depth on Raptor 2000
The Raptor 2000 supports 8-bit, mox16 and mox24 modes (see
Table 1.)
Mode/Bit-Depth Description of Mode
8-bit 8-bit PseudoColor visual
mox16 mox mode w/16 planes
mox24 mox mode w/24 planes
Table 1
An explanation of the different MOX modes can be found in Section
4.4.
To start X Windows with a specific depth on a Raptor 2000 card,
the environment variable STARSMODE needs to be set. For
example to start X Windows in 8-bit only mode set the STARSMODE
environment variable to +8 before starting up the X server.
prompt% setenv STARSMODE +8
Other bit-depths can be selected in a similar manner.
4-3
Raptor X11R6.1 for AIX Installation Manual
4.3.1.2 Setting Bit-Depth on T-Class Cards
The bit-depth of Raptor 1100T, Raptor 2100T and Raptor 2500T
can be set to 8-bit only, 8+24-bit, 24-bit, mox16, mox24 or mox32
(see Table 2.)
Mode/Bit-Depth Description of Mode
8-bit 8-bit PseudoColor visual
8+24 mode One 8-bit visual + One 24-bit visual
(simultaneous)
24-bit 24-bit TrueColor visual only
mox16 mox mode w/16 planes
mox24 mox mode w/24 planes
mox32 mox mode w/32 planes
Table 2
An explanation of different MOX modes can be found in Section
4.4.
There are two ways to set bit-depth on Raptor 1100T, Raptor 2100T
and Raptor 2500T:
• By setting the environment variable
• By editing the config file /etc/X11/TSIScreenConfig
4.3.1.2.1 STARSMODE Variable
The bit-depth of the Raptor T-Class card can be set using the
STARSMODE environment variable. This variable should be set
before starting up the X server.
For example, set the bit-depth of the Raptor T-Class card to 8+24
prompt% setenv STARSMODE +8+24
To set the bit-depth of the Raptor T-Class card to mox16
prompt% setenv STARSMODE +mox16
STARSMODE
4-4
Chapter 4 - Invoking X11R6.1
Other bit-depths can be selected in a similar manner.
NOTE: In the case when both methods to set bit-depth are used,
the STARSMODE variable takes precedence over the settings in the
TSIScreenConfig file.
4.3.1.2.2 Config File
The depth and resolution of the Raptor T-Class card can be set
using the /usr/X11R6.1/etc/TSIScreenConfig file. Each
row in the file corresponds to a specific Raptor T-Class card that is
identified by its device name. The fields in each row are separated
by spaces. In the sample config file shown below the bit-depth of
the Raptor 1100T (rap1kt0) card is set to 8+24. The cached
pixmap field is used for debugging purposes only and should
always be set to 1. The other fields are discussed in 4.3.2.
# device Depth Resolution Sync Cached Resfile
pixmap
rap1kt0 8+24 DEFAULT 1 1 trzresinfo
The default visual in 8+24-bit mode is PseudoColor. In order to set
the default visual in the 8+24-bit mode to TrueColor, the X Server
should be started with command line option cc set to 4. The
example below shows how to set the default visual to TrueColor for
the card rap2kt0.
#xinit -- $X11R6HOME/bin/Xtsi –Pll rap2kt0 –cc 4
NOTE: This method of setting the default visual has an effect only
in the 8+24-bit mode.
4-5
Raptor X11R6.1 for AIX Installation Manual
4.3.2 Setting the Resolution
The resolution of the Raptor 2000 and Raptor 2100T cards is fixed
at 2048x2048. The Raptor 2500T is configured in hardware to
support either 2048x2048 or 2560x2048 resolutions. Therefore,
depending on your flat panel subsystem, it will support the
appropriate resolution. For example, Raptor 2500 FPS supports
2560x2048 and Raptor 2100 FPS supports 2048x2048. The Raptor
1100T supports multiple resolutions.
The resolution of the Raptor 1100T card can be changed by editing
the config file the /usr/X11R6.1/etc/TSIScreenConfi g . By
default, the resolution of this card is set to 1280x1024x60. Each
row in the config file corresponds to a Raptor card that is
identified by its device name. The fields in each row are separated
by spaces. The resfile field specifies the file that contains a list
of available resolutions and the corresponding timing numbers.
Normally, this file is called trzresinfo and is located in
/usr/X11R6.1/etc. The cached pixmap field is used for
debugging purposes only and should always be set to 1.
The resolution field should contain the name of a resolution from the
resfile. The sync field can be used to specify a sync flag. If it is
set to 1, the sync flag will default to the value specified in the
resfile. An explanation of the various sync flags can be found in
the trzresinfo file.

4.4 Enabling MOX Extension During
X11R6.1 Server Startup
By default, the X11R6.1 server starts in an 8-bit mode. However,
on Raptor cards you may start the X11R6.1 server with MOX
extension enabled. (Details of the MOX Extension to X Server are
in separate technical white paper documentation.)
These MOX modes apply to all Raptor cards:
mox16 MOX, 8-bit Normal, 13-bit Group, 5-bit Absolute
mox24 MOX, 8-bit Normal, 21-bit Group, 13-bit Absolute
The Raptor 1100T, Raptor 2100T and Raptor 2500T can support
the following additional MOX mode.
mox32 MOX, 8-bit Normal, 29-bit Group, 21-bit Absolute
To enable MOX on a Raptor card, set the bit-depth to one of the
MOX modes. Please refer to Section 4.3.1 for details.
4.5 xdm
The X Display Manager (xdm) program is used for running multiple
users on the same host machine. xdm provides services similar to
those provided by init, getty and login on character terminals
prompting for login name and password, authenticating the user,
and running a session. It provides a login window for each user or
selected users.
Several files that are required to start xdm are provided in the
directory $X11R6HOME/lib/X11/xdm. The configuration file
xdm-config contains references to the other files and is used to
specify other configuration parameters of xdm. The Xservers file
specifies the users (displays) that must get a login window.
4-7
Raptor X11R6.1 for AIX Installation Manual
The Xservers file will have individual lines to represent the Xserver startup on each of the display device on which an xdm login
screen is desired. Each startup line in Xservers file should be
modified to look like the following to enable the Raptor device
based xdm login screen:
:0 Local local-uid@console root \
/usr/X11R6.1/bin/Xtsi :0 –P11 rap2kt0
You may also add any other command line arguments to the end of
the line. For more information on xdm refer to the xdm man pages.
4.5.1 MOX Mode Using xdm
In order to enable MOX under xdm you must make use of the
StartWin script installed in /usr/X11R6.1/etc. The
Xservers file should be modified as follows:
:0 local /usr/X11R6.1/bin/StartWin:0
Additional command line options can be appended at the end of
this line. The following example StartWin script will start up the
X Server in mox24 mode.
#!/bin/sh
STARSMODE=+mox24
export STARSMODE
pass=“/usr/X11R6.1/bin/Xtsi”$*
exec $pass
NOTE: By default, the StartWin script starts up the X Server in
mox24 mode. It can be edited in order to support other MOX
modes.

4.6 Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
Common Desktop Environment (CDE) is available with AIX and is
independent of the Raptor software. In order to use CDE, you need
to configure only /usr/dt/config/Xservers file. The example
below shows how to modify Xservers file to start CDE on Raptor
2100T.
:0 local /usr/x11R6.1/bin/Xtsi –Pll rap2kt0 :0
CDE can be started by typing:
prompt# /usr/dt/bin/dtlogin
4.6.1 MOX Mode Using CDE
In order to enable MOX when using CDE, you must make use of
the StartWin script installed in /usr/X11R6.1/etc. The
Xservers file should be modified as follows:
:0 local /usr/X11R6.1/bin/StartWin:0
Additional command line options can be appended at the end of
this line. The following example StartWin script will start up the
X Server in mox24 mode.
#!/bin/sh
STARSMODE=+mox24
export STARSMODE
pass=“/usr/X11R6.1/bin/Xtsi”$*
exec $pass
NOTE: By default, the StartWin script starts up the X Server in
mox24 mode. It can be edited in order to support other MOX
modes.
