Setting up a different display as ITE

Use this procedure to set up a different display as ITE.

To specify a different display as ITE:

  • On the ITE display, set ITE to the character device.
  • On all other displays, set ITE to none.

The following examples show entries in the Xserver file which start a server on three local displays on sysaaa:0. Display :0 will be the console (ITE).

sysaaa:0 Local local /usr/bin/X11/X :0
sysaaa:1 Local local /usr/bin/X11/X :1
sysaaa:2 Local local /usr/bin/X11/X :2

On host sysbbb, the bitmap display :0 is not the ITE; the ITE is associated with device /dev/ttyi1. The following entries in the Xserver file start servers on the two bitmap displays with No Windows Mode enabled on :1.

sysaaa:0 Local local@none /usr/bin/X11/X :0
sysaaa:1 Local local@ttyi1 /usr/bin/X11/X :1
