I have a Sun IPX with a "standard" slink installation. For X, I use the Xsun color server.
I find the standard font dimension in X to be too small. In Debian for i386, this can be easily changed by adding the option "-dpi xxx" to the line :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. The same does not work under Debian for Sparc. I have also tried to add the option "-dpi xxx" to the command that starts the Xsun server in /etc/X11/Xserver, with no success. In this case, "-dpi 100" does not change anything, while "-dpi 120" or "-dpi 72" does not allow the server to start (however, I can restore things from a tty). I think I could fix the problem by setting a larger font in $HOME/.Xresouces, but I would prefer to do it at the server level. I have two further related questions: 1) How can I tell which is the framebuffer on my IPX? As far as I know, it could be either a CG3 (unaccelerated) or a CG6 (accelerated). But I have no more information. 2) Installing Xsun24 instead of Xsun could improve the server response and/or reliability?
