The new server /etc/Xdomain uses hot keys to toggle the display between X and the DM. Though both are active, only one has ownership of the display/keyboard/mouse at any one time.

It runs with the DM and uses a key to switch between them.nazgul@alphalpha.com (Kee Hinckley) (02/21/91)

I hope I'm not beating a dead horse. I just received the PSK for X11 R4. Now I'm wishing I had followed the earlier threads on the X11 R4 setup. Could someone tell me how to configure it so that I can hot key between X and DM? I get X to come up ok but don't know how to run DM in the background so that it comes to life when I enter Ctrl-Shft-F9. I have tried running dm numerous ways but always get a blank screen when I Ctrl-Shft-F9. The release notes don't tell me anything. Grrrrr. -- Mark S. Evans Tandem Telecommunications Systems Inc.

Straight out of TFM (or TFRelease notes): active window system. The following DM key definition performs the same function as the Xdomain hot key (shift-ctrl-F9) and the program /usr/X11/bin/dmtox: kd F9c cpo /com/sigp xdomain -c 9010011;ke When Xdomain is in control of the screen there is no DM icon. Use (shift-ctrl-F9) to switch back to the DM.

I have tried running dm numerous > ways but always get a blank screen when I Ctrl-Shft-F9. Try running the DM first, then running Xdomain. The blank screen means you have successfully switched but there is no DM to switch to. I run Xdomain from a pad and have no problems with switching. When Xdomain is told to switch, all it does is release control of the display and input - its up to another process (the DM) to notice and start using them. Here are a couple of handy shell scripts for switching: # xd : switch from X to DM # Send a SIG USR1 to Xdomain /com/sigp xdomain -c 09010010 # dx : switch from DM to X # Send a SIG USR2 to Xdomain /com/sigp xdomain -c 09010011 Craig Durland (503) 750-3354 Hewlett-Packard, 1000 NE Circle, Corvallis, OR 97330 craig@cv.hp.com
