19284   how to run the Xserver on a headless system   3 Apr 2000

Description Top
To run the Xsun X-server on a headless system (a system without a frame
buffer), copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers, then edit
/etc/dt/config/Xservers and comment out the last line by inserting the #
character into the beginning of the line:

  # :0   Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner

This will prevent the console from starting any X-windows display manager but
will allow X-windows applications to be run on the system and remotely
displayed to other systems.

If you are using the XDM login manager on your system, comment out the last
line of /usr/openwin/lib/xdm/Xservers:

  # :0 Local local /usr/openwin/lib/xdm/StartOW :0

This will prevent the console from starting OpenWindows.
Applies To Hardware, Operating Systems/Solaris/Solaris 2.x
