Post-installation instructions for X.Org on OpenBSD/macppc ---------------------------------------------------------- OpenBSD 3.7 and later uses the X.Org X server on macppc. A special driver reproduces the functionality of Xmacppc in previous releases: wsfb. It uses whatever graphics mode the console is set to (by Mac OS) as a dumb unaccelerated framebuffer in 8 bits per pixel. A default /etc/X11/xorg.conf is installed that uses this driver. So you can just use 'startx' or xdm to start X without further configuration. To use xdm from rc.conf, it is necessary to disable /dev/ttyC0 in /etc/ttys, change the 'status' of /dev/ttyC0 to 'off'. Accelerated drivers ------------------- The 'ati' driver is currently known to work on the machines with ATI Rage 128 or Radeon cards. The 'nv' driver works for machines with nVidia cards, although some modes may experience problems. Use xorgconfig to build a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file before starting the server for the first time. Or you can use the sample configuration file appended below as a starting point. You need to set machdep.allowaperture to 2 in /etc/sysctl.conf in order to be able to use the X.Org accelerated drivers. -- Cut Here for a sample /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use with the ati driver --- Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Sample Config" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/OTF" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "keyboard" Option "Protocol" "standard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "wsmouse" Option "Device" "/dev/wsmouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor" VendorName "Generic" ModelName "TwentyOneInches" # Adjust those to your monitor or it will be destroyed !!

Other mouse operations can also be emulated using the keyboard. To see the default key mappings, look at /etc/X11/xkb/compat/mousekeys. These are not enabled by default. It is necessary to bind a key to the Pointer_EnableKeys action. For the PBG4 a good setting for this is using the Enter key next to or near the space bar (US keymap). This can be bound by using the following xmodmap command. -- xmodmap -e "keysym Mode_switch = Mode_switch Pointer_EnableKeys" -- With xmodmap above run, {:--:} (not return) will toggle the Pointer_EnableKeys mode allowing the key to be used either as a mouse action or as the real key. For other keyboards/setups, both "Mode_switch" strings in the xmodmap command can be changed to another key. xev(1) can be used to determine the name associated with a key. The following is a diff to the mousekeys file which simplifies mousekey usage on the PBG4, It could be used with other keyboards, this is not specific to the PBG4. It changes the default mousekey behavior of the keypad 0 and keypad Decimal (period) to act as mouse button 2 and mouse button 3 respectively. --- mousekeys.orig Sat Oct 13 11:09:31 2001 +++ /etc/X11/xkb/compat/mousekeys Sat Oct 13 11:12:34 2001 @@ -104,14 +104,14 @@ }; interpret KP_0 { - action = LockPointerButton(button=default,affect=lock); + action= PointerButton(button=2); }; interpret KP_Insert { action = LockPointerButton(button=default,affect=lock); }; interpret KP_Decimal { - action = LockPointerButton(button=default,affect=unlock); + action= PointerButton(button=3); }; interpret KP_Delete { action = LockPointerButton(button=default,affect=unlock); problem_blurb $OpenBSD: README.macppc,v 1.3 2007/08/26 07:38:37 matthieu Exp $
